Summer Salad Yummies!!

This is my summer salad that is extremely popular in my family. The key is actually to cut everything fairly small, and break up the lettuce. This allows bites of salad with full flavor. I vary my salads depending on what comes in our Tractor order each week. I will give my base, and then add suggestions. Feel free to play with this. 

 

Salad mix (usually called a spring mix)

1/2 Cup Raddish Tops, Carrot Tops, Cilantro, or Microgreens (Add these depending on what is available, not all are needed.)

1 Large Radish or 2 Small Radishes

1 Carrot

1 Tomato or 6 Cherry Tomatoes

1 Cucumber

2 Scallions

1 Pack of Bacon

1 Cup of Feta

1 Teaspoon of Pine Nuts, Pumpkin Seeds, and Sunflower Seeds

3 New York Bagel Chips



(Honey Mustard Dressing)

1/3 Cup of White Wine Vinegar

1/3 Cup of Olive Oil

4 Tablespoons of Dijon Mustard

1/4 Cup of Honey

Dash of Salt and Pepper 

Put all the ingredients for the dressing in a jar and shake until everything is mixed. 


Putting Salad Together

Break up your salad mix and lightly chop up your extra greens you add. Then dice up your scallions, radishes, cucumbers, and tomatoes. Shred your carrot up with a cheese grater. As I dice and add all ingredients to the top I am not mixing them in. They all stay on the surface. After this you add your feta evenly to the top. 

Here is where I start serving the salad into bowls. After serving the salad into bowls. I dice up the bacon and divide it equally among 4 large bowls and 2 small bowls. I then sprinkle the nuts and seeds over and then crumble up my bagel chips. After this I pour my honey mustard dressing over the salad. 

Ready to eat!!!

Remember small is the key when adding the ingredients. It makes a world of difference to your flavor of the salad.

The Loom Knit Bird Book is out and available to purchase on Amazon, Ravelry, and Cindwood!!!

The book contains 40 bird patterns, a section on how to design your own bird using the patterns in this book, what you can do with the birds after you complete them, and how to easily change size by changing the gauge and size of yarn. 

The book has nice large print for those with sight difficulties, there are several instructional videos that are with the book for links to youtube. All you need to have is a 24 peg loom, many of the patterns are great for scrap yarn as well. 

With the patterns it includes my draw illustrations of what the bird actually looks like along with the loom knitted version. 

I hope you all enjoy this book and much of the information in it!!!
