If you’re old enough, you’ve probably had this salad, Classic Spinach Salad with Warm Bacon Dressing, at least if you live in the States. It was everywhere in the late ’70s and early ’80s and was served for decades. And then it disappeared. Fell out of grace.

A bit of cooked Barley was the “by-product” of my Healthy Lemon Ginger Barley Water recipe awhile back. Well, if you know me, you know I try to waste nothing, and sure didn’t want to waste a morsel of wonderful, chewy, nutty Barley. (I love it, and so should you, btw! It’s really good for you!) And so I went on a quest and that quest ended in this Salad with Smoky Sheet Tray Roasted Vegetables & Barley. It’s a lot to use a cup of Barley, huh?!

Here it is, September already, and I’m in full-on denial. Maybe that should be “fall” on denial! I keep seeing little signs of fall, although you wouldn’t know it by the weather. Or the glut of fruits & veggies at the store. The gorgeous Colorado peaches (I think some of the best) inspired this Arugula & Peach Salad with Feta & Bacon.

There’s salad and then there’s SALAD – you know, the one that shouts rather than whispers? The one you want MORE of…the salad that has that little something extra to take it over the top. That’s this salad, Spinach Quinoa Salad with Candied Pecans.
