Walk Widely. Eat Wisely. Live Gratefully.
The nights are cooling and everyone’s talking about back to school…so we are making it a priority to enjoy the harvest, and especially salads! Today’s included lots of homegrown veg, supplemented by other not so local favourites.
For two:
4-6c chopped mixed greens
2 diced peaches
1 diced avocado
4 cherry tomatoes, halved
1 small cucumber, diced
Dress with (shaken):
2 T Dijon
Zest and juice of half a lemon
1 T olive oil
Top with:
1 oz feta
1 T toasted no salt shelled sunflower seeds
Enjoy!
It snowed overnight, which we suppose is Mother Nature having the last laugh after we were so excited at yesterday’s promise of spring. We’re fighting back, though, by having a lunchtime salad that combines the flavours of a winter Tagine with the crunchy green-ness of spring.
On a bed of greens, we added celery slices and chopped up last night’s leftover lamburgers. The dressing consisted of balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and maple Dijon mustard from Kozlik’s. To top it off, some feta, raisins, and pine nuts gave us a salty-sweet finish with just the right spiciness.
