CW Summer Salad

There are no quantities listed below because, well, it’s a salad.  Proportion according to taste. This salad highlights some of the best summer flavours of New England.

Fill salad bowl about 2/3 with baby spinach.  Toss in the following:

• Thinly-sliced cucumbers
• Thinly-sliced carrots
• Thinly-sliced mushrooms
• Raw broccoli florets

Here’s where we make it interesting with contrasting flavours and textures:

• Diced granny smith apple
• Sprinkling of Craisins sweetened, dried cranberries
• Grated extra-sharp Vermont cheddar cheese

Dress with poppy seed dressing.  Newman’s Own and Olde Cape Cod make excellent poppy seed dressings.
