I'm back! I bet most of you didn't know I was even gone - you just gotta love the new "schedule a future post" aspect of blogger. Now you never know if I'm here or there! It's good to be home, but it's hardly relaxing. And I don't expect relaxing for a couple more weeks, although I did get an email today which indicated that at least when relaxation does occur I'll have a couple weeks of it!
So the rules of the game are pretty simple - create a quick, easy, light summer dinner for one. While Thatboy is more than happy with a salad dinner, I don't think he really appreciates a salad meal the way I do. The crisp apples, crunchy almonds, sweet cranberries, spicy onions, and tangy cheese just tell me to pass go and collect $200. In other words, this one is a sure fire winner.

ReplyDeletemain dish salads for dinner during the summer are the best!
ReplyDeleteThat's my kind of salad! My Hubby would never eat it, but he's not a fruit in his salad kind of guy. Looks yummy to me!

ReplyDeleteyou're so tricky! yummy salad!
ReplyDeleteI think my boys would shit their pants if I served salad for dinner.
ReplyDeleteHow much dressing do you and your hubs use? Im new to cooking and you are such a crisp fresh rockstar!!!
ReplyDeleteThatboy prefers his salads without dressing - it's something he's done ever since I met him when he used to eat a bowl of lettuce every day in the dorms.
ReplyDeleteI don't really measure, but I give it a couple light swings over the salad. I call it a "drizzle" but that's not an exact cooking term. It's probably around a tablespoon.
