Crunchy salad
Feb
I’m looking forward for spring time and I will start gathering spring recipes. I always buy in season vegetables and fruits because they are cheaper. So for the meantime, I just leave you the recipe for a crunchy salad. All you need is a lettuce, grape tomatoes, carrot, bell pepper, cucumber, chopped walnuts, salt and pepper. Slice the vegetables, mix together and chilled before serving. For the dressing you need, coarsely crumbled blue cheese, milk or buttermilk, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard salt and pepper. Blend all the ingredients in a mixer. Refrigerate the dressing until serving time.
Salad for lunch
Mar
Yesterday, I am lazy to go to the market since the weather is not good and this lunch I have no idea for our salad. I checked the fridge and I found feta cheese, tomatoes and cucumber. I prepared them by cutting into dice bite size and added basil leaves. I mixed a dressing of balsamic vinegar, olive oil, a dash of salt and pepper. I combined the all ingredients in a bowl and mixed it thoroughly. Hubby likes the salad very much and the next time I know what already to prepare.
Summer feeling
Feb
Today the sun shine brightly and to feel it more like we are in a summer vacation, I prepared a fruitful salad with pineapple and mangoes for our lunch. I peeled the mangoes and cut in halves and sliced into strips and cubes. I also peeled and sliced the pineapple into bits. I washed the tomatoes and sliced into halves likewise with iceberg lettuce. For the sauce I pureed sour cream, ginger jam, apple juice and the mango cubes. I tasted it with a dash of pepper, sugar and salt and them I mixed it with the salad ingredients. It was perfect for the fried tuna steaks and a cup of rice.
