Arugula with pear & blue cheese

Arugula with pear & blue cheese

Salads can be as simple as a dressing and some leaf greens, or they can have 16 different ingredients. Some fine dining restaurants might take a couple hours to put together a salad. On the other hand I can throw one together in about 5 minutes for lunch, who has time lol.

      This Arugula with Pear & Blue Cheese Salad is on the easier side but with a few extras. If you decide to add these special touches I’m sure your guests will notice.

Mediterranean Cauliflower Salad

As soon as you put the word… Mediterranean … in front of a food title I get hungry. Say it slowly with me… Mediterranean       Cauliflower       Salad…      mmmmmm.

A great Salad for a weekend party or BBQ even a busy sports night later that week. And tastes better after sitting for a while so you know the leftovers are going to taste great.

Pear Cider Vinaigrette

The best parts of this vinaigrette is you only need a few tablespoons of Apple Cider, what you do with the rest is up to you!

Apple & Brie Salad

      An Apple & Brie Salad is one great use for and Apple Cider Vinaigrette. A beautiful Vinaigrette like that needs a gorgeous canvas to splash around in.

      A Salad mix of Baby Greens balanced with the sweet acidity of Shallots and Dries Currents. Thinly sliced sweet Red Peppers and Apple and the spice of Radish. All brought together with a fresh tasting Apple Cider Vinaigrette and rich Brie is a happy Salad.

Creamy Goat Cheese Polenta

This porridge might have been a staple in ancient times but I bet they never had it this good. Tangy Goat Cheese, the richness of whole Cream and Butter, the fragrance of Thyme and the wonderful sweetness of Honey… all encased in Creamy Polenta. This brilliant side dish works so well with slow roast tender Meats.
