Sunday Spinach Salad…
Nectarines are in season in Brazil... in fact all the ingredients I used today were Brazilian products.
In a concerted effort to consume more vegetables (well and fruit I guess) , I…. have made…. a salad! Even more remarkable, I am eating it. This is one of my favorite salads, fresh baby spinach, sweet nectarine slices, a nice green avocado and toasted pecans with a light homemade vinaigrette style dressing. I don’t pretend to be a chef but this is pretty good… To be fair I stole the recipe from the Re-Bar cookbook. Thanks Re-Bar.
Normally I make this salad with a balsamic and olive oil and honey vinaigrette but I made the assumption that my roommate had balsamic vinegar –wrong assumption. SO…. I used the below mini recipe I found on-line:
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 tsp. grated lime peel, if desired
I think it is particularly funny that it says ten minutes preparation time because I spent about 30 secs. And it was pretty good although sweeter than the balsamic alternative. Here’s to salad on Sunday!
