My Favorite Salad


When I am in the mood for something incredibly tasty and very easy to make, I whip this salad up.  My simple sweet and sour dressing (thanks,  mom Book) is wonderful with anything, but brings out the flavors of this salad perfectly.

4 cups torn romaine lettuce and spinach
1/4 cup chopped celery
1 cup herbed chick peas (see March 7th blog)
1/4 cup baby, sliced fried potatoes
2 TBSP chopped green onions
crumbled goat cheese
small florets of broccoli and cauliflower

Dressing (Blend all in a blender until creamy):
1 onion, diced
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1 cup sugar, agave nectar, or honey
1 tsp salt
1 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp celery seed
poppy seeds (optional)

Add the top ingredients in bowls.  Drizzle with the dressing.  Oh, this is so good!!!


            Until you take the time to know and care about someone, you cannot help them.  You can take a small amount of time gifting yourself to those you come in contact with by asking questions about them.  Realizing that you can not do this to everyone you come in contact with on the street, stay focused on the close family and friends that you interact with daily.  Only by discovering needs, desires, relationships, vocations, and physical health can you show that you truly care.
