Lots of good food was consumed over the holiday weekend but now the future bride and groom are back on their wedding diets which means lots of salads. I make dinner salads so they don't feel deprived. I start by putting a layer of pasta on the bottom. In this case, it was pesto pasta. Then I add lots of lettuce, tomatoes, pickled mushrooms, cucumber salad, olives, salted radishes, a bit of ham, blue cheese, cheddar cheese and a hard boiled egg. I try to always make them a bit different to keep them interesting. |
And I change up the dressing on a regular basis. Since my herbs are all thriving, I made green goddess dressing for today. It's so simple and in just a few minutes you can have a healthy, fresh dressing for your salad.
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup chopped green onions
1 cup chopped fresh basil, tarragon, parsley and chives combined. (1 cup total)
juice of 2 lemons
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 anchovy fillets, minced (don't skip this step!)
1 cup sour cream
Pulse it in your food processor until it is creamy.
Such a difference from store bought.
Local lettuce, farm fresh eggs, local cheese and tomatoes from your garden; all topped with fresh dressing. Yum!
