Spring Mix Salad with Lemony White Balsamic Dressing

I love mixed salads, and you’ll see a lot of salads on my site – many with wonderful dressings and an array of gorgeous ingredients. This Spring Mix Salad with Lemony White Balsamic Dressing is a simple side salad, and every bit as scrumptious.  Spring lettuces, barley (or another grain of your choice), a few herbs, and a little Parmesan dress it up.

AARP. Who knew? I’ve been a proud member, according to my card, since 2015, but looking back I wish I would have signed up earlier. I mean really, who knew they were such a resource and who knew they had great, healthy recipes like this Dried Cranberry, Walnut & Avocado Salad? I’ve made several recipes from AARP that are winners. I’ll have to post more in the future!

Harvest Wild Rice Salad with Oranges, apples & pears & a citrus vinaigrette

I recently made the Stuffed Chicken Roast from Better Home & Garden’s December 2015 issue – I couldn’t help but be inspired by their Harvest Wild Rice Salad, served alongside. Gorgeous greens, wild rice and a citrus dressing caught my eye. Toss in a few apples, pears and toasted pecans and sprinkle on a few dried cranberries or cherries and you have a salad!
