Salad
Boring title I know, but this is my GO-TO salad. I make it with almost every meal and my family still isn't sick of it (or at least they haven't told me if they are). Many people don't like fruit in salad, but for me, it's a must for a summer salad. I also make a homemade vinaigrette because it's cheaper and easy to make.
Recipe:
-
greens! Lettuce or a "spring mix" is my go-to. I never measure I just put it in a bowl and think "ya that'll feed 5 people"
-
chopped fruit: I usually do strawberries but peaches or raspberries also taste delicious
-
chopped pecans (about a handful)
-
chopped feta (this cheese is so expensive I usually only put a bit)
​
For the vinaigrette:
-
1/3 cup olive oil
-
1/3 cup balsamic vinegrette
-
honey to your liking (Not too much or it's ridiculously sweet)
-
1 tsp dijon mustard
-
salt and pepper
-
optional: I'll add lemon juice if I have one around. Or I'll take frozen raspberries and defrost them and swirl them in.
