Sunday Salad Leaves

Happy Mothers Day. Hope your day has been a blessed one as you spend it with your family. Our kids were with us today for lunch and my job was to make a salad. So here goes, a little something different and very versatile.

The recipe for Sunday Salad Leaves is as follows:

Sunday Salad Leaves

On a platter place romaine salad leaves, fill each leaf with the following ingredients: Sliced apples, grilled onions and mushrooms, shredded carrots, blackberries and strawberries (sliced).

I made a few savory leaves and a few with fruit. The favorite combination was a few slices on apples, shredded carrots, grilled mushrooms and onions.

Drizzle with a balsamic dressing. I made a homemade vinaigrette today.

In a bowl add 3/4 c. olive oil, 3 T. Balsamic Vinegar, 2 T. honey, 1 T. basil (chopped), 1 t. garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste, 1 T. hot pepper strawberry jelly. Whisk together and drizzle over the salad leaves.


i will experiment with this recipe and see what other options I can come up with. Let me know if you have any other yummy ideas.

Enjoy the rest of your day.
