I promised my co-workers that I would post the recipe for my favorite salad that I brought last week to a goodbye party for one of the midwives I work with. I also made it last Thanksgiving (for those of you lucky enough to have partaken of Matt's smoked turkey extraordinaire at our traditional Barlow feast). Here it is:
1/2 sliced red onion
2 avocados sliced
2 avocados sliced
strawberries sliced
gorgonzola cheese
mixed greens
(you can also use pears, craisins, peaches, etc)
Top with sugared almonds:
1/2 c. sliced almonds
3 Tbsp sugar
1/2 Tbsp butter
(Cook almonds in frying pan until golden and carmelized--be careful not to burn)
Dressing:
3/4 Tbsp poppy seeds (optional)
1/3 c. white vinegar
3/4 c. canola oil
1/3 c. sugar
1/4 c. grated onion
3/4 tsp salt
2 Tbsp mustard

this salad is seriously so good. mmmmmmmm. the perfect summer salad
this looks amazing and sounds so refreshing. thanks for the recipe!
This looks phenomenal. I am going to make it soon. I even have most of the ingredients in the fridge. Great idea.
Yum. While I was reading this I stopped at the carmelized nuts part, not realizing there was more.
That's probably where I would stop with the recipe, too, forgetting about the lettuce once I got to the butter and sugar.
Thanks for another great Thomas recipe!
Mmmm...
This salad looks just like summer!
