Recipes are not a set of rules …… but an inspiration.
The Fresh Mushroom Salad is a recipe that features tarragon dressing used for marinating mushrooms and dressing greens with cherry tomatoes. Due to a harsh winter affecting the supply of fresh greens, the recipe uses a minimal amount of mixed greens, that are topped with cherry tomatoes and marinated mushrooms.
Why not enjoy a salad every day? Spinach Salad with Pears, Brie and Raspberries, has a raspberry vinaigrette and is a perfect complement to grilled meats.
This salad, which seems to be making a comeback, takes me back many years, when it seemed to be one of the only choices for a green salad in the winter and fresh lettuce was restricted to the iceberg variety.
A delicious taste of the Mediterranean for a substantial summer salad!
I love this salad. It is so fresh tasting and the ingredients are available throughout the year. The crunch of the almonds or pine nuts offsets the sweetness of the clementine slices.
