Strawberry Salad

As I sit to write this post, I have suddenly realized that there is no existing category for salads...hmph. I also realized my last post was about strawberries...(it is strawberry season in these parts and besides, organic strawberries are ONLY 4.99 a small basket).

Sooo......here is the recipe for a delicious salad...in fact, I would like to dedicate this salad recipe to Lani who is my carnivorous sister in law that sports a prejudiced palate (however, this salad easily found its way to her heart and now I am confident that I can always show up on the doorstep with it without being labeled as a dirty vegetarian hippy).

Strawberry Salad

Dressing

• 1/4 Cup olive Oil
• 1/4 Cup Balsamic Vinegar
• Salt and Pepper

Salad

• Greens (three to four handfuls for each person to be served)
• A handful of strawberries sliced
• 1/2 Cup Toasted Pecans (Preheat your oven to 400 F. Spread pecans out on a cookie sheet and bake for 5-10 minutes-Do not blacken)
• 1/2 Red Onion sliced and diced
• 1/2 Cup crumbled Blue Cheese

Toss the salad with the whisked dressing and enjoy...you CAN take this one home to the in-laws!

Hi There

I just stumbled upon your blog and think it is an excellent read for foodies and especially like the photos and design of the blog.I started off as a blogger myself and realise the importance of a good clean design like you have here. I have now bookmarked it for myself to read and have added you to our new list of "all the food blogs in the world" on www.ifoods.tv which we have been compiling for the last month! Hopefully it will send you some traffic in the long run. Looking forward to reading your thoughts on food so keep up the good work and talk soon. Cheers
