DAY THIRTY FOUR:
Grilled Veggies & Prawns on Broccoli Slaw & Spinach….Finally got a new bbq!!!! Yeah! We’ve been having summer weather for a couple months now and without a bbq, it just felt wrong cooking inside every night, heating up the house. So I’m happy to take things outside for a while!
This salad was a bit of odd combo, but the guys had bbq’d italian sausages on a bun, with grilled peppers and onions and coleslaw on the side…so I grilled myself some prawns and put it all together atop baby spinach…so good! The best bite was a combo of the sweet smokey onion, zingy slaw and a garlicky herby (homegrown parsley! so potent and green!) prawn 🙂

DAY TWENTY SEVEN:
Ohhhhh my…there’s no place like home, there’s no place like home…so eating out is tough for those who are careful about what they consume….and travelling compounds this difficult situation….took the kiddies on a surprise quick trip to Vancouver on friday, so Wendy’s it was for dinner…I ordered a side salad (because I can’t spend $10 on a salad, just can’t, lol!) and a chili….and was so unsatisfied that I wound up eating basically an entire BAG of Heavy D’s kettle corn throughout the next couple of hours on the drive….uhhgggghhhhh….sigh….

Balsamic Salad Dressing
This is our go-to dressing in our kitchen. Consistently good and goes great with almost any salad you can toss at it…haha! Toss at it….oh sorry….This is a great ‘basic’ that can be adapted to make other dressings, for example, sub in red wine vinegar and a tbsp of dried oregano for a perfect Greek salad dressing, or, instead of sugar, sub in a tbsp of homemade strawberry jam for a strawberry spinach salad.
You can change it however you want to suit your needs but just be sure to keep the acid to oil ratio the same.
Let me know if you try this dressing and what you think! 🙂
Ingredients
1/3 C balsamic vinegar
2/3 C extra virgin olive oil
1Tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp sugar … (can substitute honey if you’d prefer)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder … (or 1 tsp minced fresh garlic)
1/2 tsp pepper
Method
In your prettiest jar (this is of paramount importance:), whisk together vinegar, mustard, sugar (or honey), garlic powder (or minced fresh garlic, which I used to do, when all I had was time to burn, lol), salt & pepper. Once this is completely blended, start to slowly pour the oil in a steady stream, whisking the entire time. And that’s it! Double, triple the batch and keep it in your fridge for salads all week long. And then promise me you’ll never but a nasty overpriced under-quality store bought dressing ever again!

DAY TWENTY THREE:
Another “leftover” or “remixed” salad, atop a bed of iceberg (I know! but it’s so good sometimes! I don’t hate on any lettuce 🙂 even the nutritionally-void ones :), chopped avocado, tomatoes, cucumbers, mushrooms and green onion….and then instead of a dressing, I used the leftover salad from last night, the shrimp, crab, corn, peas, peppers & dill salad. Very fresh and crunchy and light, really nice after this hot summery day.
