Hello everyone - Happy Summer. Don't you just love the simple joys of Summer?
It's the time of the year just to kick back and relax. I love that no pressure feeling
of rushing the kids to school. I tend to eat tons of salads during the warmer months.
Be prepared for tons of delicious and easy salads that the entire family will love.
with a a honey-balsamic dressing but you can use a bottle if you'd like. Enjoy!!
Arugula and Peach Salad with White Cheddar
7 ounces of baby arugula
3 peaches
3 ounces of dried cranberries
5 ounces sharp white cheddar, cubed
5 ounces glazed pecans
1) In a large mixing bowl combine all 5 ingredients. I like to dress the salad with
dressing individually so that nothing gets soggy.
Simple Honey Balsamic Vinaigrette
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
1/4 cup olive oil
a dash of salt and pepper
In a small bowl whisk together vinegar, honey, dijon and olive oil. Season with
salt and pepper. I usually double the vinaigrette recipe.
oh looks so tasty :D
