Roasted Asparagus Salad with Strawberries

June 4, 2014 by Kay Leave a Comment

It’s definitely asparagus and strawberry season in my neck of the woods and oh how I love asparagus and strawberries! Roasted Asparagus Salad with Strawberries marries the two and the end result is a tasty salad that makes your mouth sing.

Roasted Asparagus Salad with Strawberries starts with roasted asparagus and is topped with strawberries, bacon, feta cheese and a home made honey balsamic vinaigrette. Simply delicious.

I served this at a dinner party and there was not one bite left. Rave reviews from everyone. I have put this on my list of recipes to make while we are vacationing in the Outer Banks.

For a quick fix I make Roasted Asparagus, click here for that recipe but I thought it was time to come up with a salad recipe using roasted asparagus.

Happy Wednesday!

Enjoy!

Roasted Cauliflower Salad

May 13, 2014 by Kay Leave a Comment

The cauliflower, roasted for a nutty flavor, is layered with tomatoes, bacon and shallots and is drizzled with a vinaigrette.

I’ll be honest, this was my first time roasting cauliflower and I must say, it was delicious and I will be finding other ways to use roasted cauliflower in future recipes.

I served this at a dinner party and it was well received by everyone, even  my husband, Mr. B who is not a lover of salads. I added the goat cheese at the last minute, and I am glad I did because it really adds a nice element to the salad.

I can’t wait for the arrival of weekly vegetables from Park Ridge Organics, so fresh and inviting in summer. I am dreaming of vegetables and what I will make with them!

Enjoy!

Honey Lime Fruit Kebabs

May 6, 2014 by Kay 2 Comments

Honey Lime Fruit Kebabs will become a fast favorite for kids and adults alike. The perfect way to incorporate more fruit into your day.

Hey Everybody! Happy Hump Day!

My idea for posting this recipe today is two fold. First, it’s a great way to involve kids in helping in the kitchen and second, Honey Lime Fruit Kebabs would be a great addition to a Mother’s Day Breakfast or Brunch. Even better, let the kids make the Honey Lime Fruit Kebabs for Mom, she will love it!

I will admit, I don’t get enough fruit in my daily diet. Honey Lime Fruit Kebabs really make me want to eat more fruit. I like the combination of fruit and the honey lime glaze is just down right delicious.

Enjoy!

Chopped Salad with Strawberries

April 22, 2014 by Kay 8 Comments

Chopped Salad with Strawberries is a hearty salad filled with fresh vegetables, two kinds of lettuce, strawberries, croutons and is topped with a delicious vinaigrette.

I love salads. I especially love to order large salads when I go out to eat, so I decided I need to come up with some restaurant quality salads at home. Chopped Salad with Strawberries was a big success.

I opted for two kinds of lettuce, mixed greens and iceberg lettuce. I love the crispness of the iceberg lettuce with the mixed greens. For vegetables I used a sweet red pepper, a shallot, and a seedless cucumber. I added in fresh strawberries, feta cheese and home made croutons.

For the dressing, I made a home made herb vinaigrette and used a strawberry vinegar. I love vinaigrette’s, they are so easy to whip up and are way better than a store bough salad dressing. Trust me, it’s worth the time to make a home made vinaigrette.

I am looking forward to creating more salads!

Enjoy!
