This salad is filled with pears (I use Anjou pears), craisins, pichastios, blue cheese, sunflower seeds and grilled chicken. I use a Baby Kale/Spring mix lettuce. I try to do as much organic as possible, but there are some things that I can't find (the nuts). But I will not compromise on fruit or lettuce! I found this salad from a little chain restaurant here and adapted the dressing. It's pretty spot on if I do say so myself. Sherry vinegar has such a great flavor you have to try it! This has been my go-to salad for a few months (yes you read that right). When I find something that I love, I sort of eat it almost every day. My husband finds it very strange. Whatever. This is easy and then I don't have to decide what to eat! Right? :)
Sherry Vinaigrette Dressing
1 cup of canola oil
1/4 cup of sherry vinegar
1 Tbsp of dijon mustard
4 Tbsp of honey
pinch of salt and pepper
Another summer salad I love is this Salmon Strawberry salad. Again I use the Baby Kale/Spring Mix lettuce plus strawberries (obviously), slivered almonds, feta cheese, and red onion. This salad is from a yummy bakery in Pittsburgh that a family friend owns. When I tried it I HAD to have the dressing and I added the salmon.
