Salads are a huge hit at my house, and we always seem to have our huge red Tupperware salad bowl in the fridge with our latest creation inside. This is the best time of year for concocting all sorts of new salad combinations. A plain garden salad just doesn't cut it anymore. With local fresh fruit and vegetables hitting the stores there is no end to the ingredients you can pick from. I've been adding berries to my salads this summer. Not only do they taste awesome but they add such a burst of colour to the bowl. I love adding some nuts or seeds too-walnuts, cashews, sunflower or pumpkin seeds are my favourite.
Raspberry Salad
This one has sugar snap peas (which are boiled for 2-3 minutes in sugar water) with raspberries, red onion, walnuts and feta cheese. I use a store-bought raspberry vinegarette dressing to top it off.
Blueberry Salad
This salad contains carrot, tomato, red onion, mini sliced cucumber, blueberries & sunflower seeds. I topped it off with a store-bought balsamic dressing.
I've got an idea for salads with fresh peaches and pears that I'll share with you in the coming weeks, until then bon appetit!
Take care.....Marian xo
