Honey Almond Strawberry Salad

This is such a delicious salad, I thought it would be appropriate to open up my Recipe Box and find it.  I discovered on the linky, My Meatless Mondays and it is from The Vegetarian Casserole Queen.

I didn't have all the ingredients, on hand, but I was hungry so I altered it to fit what was in my kitchen.  I enjoyed this light meal and could have had a second plate.

I thought the star of this salad was the honey almond goat cheese.  It has a delicate flavor, yet it dominated the recipe.  I also love the cranberries with their chewiness.  Needless to say, strawberries are winners.  I would add mango to this recipe.

Strawberry Poppyseed Salad


Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups spinach, torn into smaller pieces
1/2 cup diced strawberries
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/8 cup honey almond goat cheese
1-1/2 tablespoon creamy poppyseed dressing  (below)

Method:

Place spinach in bowl.  Add strawberries, dried cranberries and goat cheese.  Toss together.
Add the dressing and lightly mix.


The dressing is a combination of 4 - 5 recipes, I found online. It is simple to put together.


Poppy Seed Dressing
 
Ingredients:


1/2 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon sugar

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1/2 teaspoon sweet and spicy mustard

1 tablespoon orange juice

1 teaspoon poppy seeds


Method:

Mix all ingredients in a jar or blend in a small food processor or do this by hand, making sure, it is well combined.

Please do link up and help me  get the Recipe Box started with your recipes which have proven themselves, time and again.

      Hi Winnie, thanks for the congrats. If you can't get real strawberries, can you find frozen. Certainly not as good but it does work.

      You may not be a baker, but you sure are a cook and a photographer. I am glad that this is better for you. I was seeing more recipes that were not baked and realized, I had taken the wrong route. I hope to have fun with this.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

Image
It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Brussels Sprouts - Power Food - Re-post

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi...

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I ...
