House Full Of Greens

Grilled Salad with RoseBerry Dressing

dsc00077.JPG

With a house full of greens, I knew a salad was in store for lunch 🙂

The base is arugula, spinach and unknown CSA greens, which I tossed in homemade dressing:

RoseBerry Dressing

  • 1 tbsp aged balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp raspberry blush vinegar (or white wine vinegar)
  • 2 tsp raspberry jam
  • 1 tsp rosemary, chopped
  • Pinch salt

Shake in jar to combine.

On top I grilled:

  • 1 peach, cut into sections
  • 1/4 cup chopped pineapple
  • 1 carrot, cut into 4 strips
  • 2 small turnups, sliced
  • 1 radish, sliced
  • 1 zucchini, sliced

It was so big I only ate about 3/4 of the salad. The arugula was a bit strong by the end. But the dressing was fantastic!

P B & J Fries

With my salad I made PB & J fries: toasted bread (for crunch) with peanut butter and jam and cut into strips. Just another way to stretch + savor a PB&J!

The antique glass was a wedding present to my grandmother.

This morning I also made a batch of Coconut Almond Granola. This time I used maple syrup and Sarah’s 90 minute method. I’m not sure I can really tell a difference between the 30 minutes at 300* and 90 at 250* so I’ll probably stick with the shorter method – unless the difference appears with time! I had a few pinches of it while it cooled.

Didn’t feel like working out this morning because it was cloudy. So I didn’t go

:mrgreen: this !

Off to study chem…

    That salad looks so yummy and colorful! I definitely want to do a CSA soon…maybe next year! I just know that living by myself for now, a lot of the fresh produce would probably go to waste…
    Those PB&J fries are cute and creative…and tasty I’m sure. 🙂
    Oh, and I need to make my own granola soon! It looks so much better than store-bought!

    That salad looks so good! I’m getting more and more excited for my first CSA delivery.

    I like the PB&J toast fries idea, too!

    A gorgeous salad with Rose-Berry dressing + PBJ “fries” + Coconut-Almond granola = most innovative, delicious-looking/-sounding lunch today in the blogging world, for sure!! :0)

    Good luck studying for chemistry!

    How do you clean your greens? I have heard to soak them in a sinkful of water and then rub dry but I still find fresh greens taste gritty to me. Any suggestions?

    I cut mine into 4 triangles for the same reason.

    I love the salad dressing served over the grilled veg and peaches. Yum! It makes my egg salad sandwich eaten at my desk seem very pathetic indeed. KatieTX – I usually do soak in a clean sink of cold water. The greens should float and the dirt should sink. The key is more then one change of water.

    What a creative idea for the fries! I’ll definitely have to try that sometime — thanks for the inspiration, Kath 🙂

    GRILLED PEACHES, MMMMMMM!

    Thank you for the PB+J fries idea, what a great thought. Any way to stretch out the consumption of a yummy thing.

    I’ve found that I eat more slowly and savor my food if I serve it in a bowl rather than on a plate. I’m not sure if you’ve tried it or if it works for everyone, but I almost never eat a meal on a plate anymore.

    A spoon really slows me down. I don’t know why … Lately when I do my dishes, I have about a three to one ratio of spoons to forks. I also started eating off of “baby” spoons (inspired by Kath) and I love it.

    Hi Kath,

    on alot of these food blogs sprouted bread seems to be really popular. I was wondering why? It looks more dry than regular bread. Does it have less calories or more filling. Before I try a loaf, I am trying to understand what makes it so popular.

    KatieTX ,
    We have an OXO Salad Spinner and I couldn’t live without it: http://www.amazon.com/Good-Grips-Mini-Salad-Spinner/dp/B00005QB5U/002-3171299-1244000?SubscriptionId=1XM1P73VXKBX6ZQPKN02/mixi-20/ref=nosim

    Leslie,
    That is SO weird about the roach!! I’ve been meaning to tell you all that the same night a LIZARD came in our window!! We found out that there’s a crack between the upper storm window and the screen, so I think the roach came in that way. Hopefully the problem is solved but we’re going to be hot until we can get new screens!

    Kelly T,
    Thanks! But I gotta credit the granola to Sarah at Suite Apple Pie! I just tweaked it some 😉

    Lauren ,
    It is a little drier but it’s got a great nutritional profile and is made with a readable ingredients list and tastes pretty good!

    Monica ,
    Thanks for tagging me! I’ve always opted out of chains so as to not get caught in a cycle. I guess I’m a party pooper, but I find them too confusing! Thanks for thinking of me though 🙂

    Leslie,
    At our last apartment, I stepped out of the shower and reached for my towel, and there was a SCORPION hanging out on it. I basically screamed bloody murder and my boyfriend rushed in to rescue me from an axe murderer or something worthy of my scream. Anyways, it freaked me out a little, and now I always check my towels.

    Hannah…. see i’m a desert rat out here in Arizona, and my complex happens to have a horrific scorpion problem… to the point where now i joke that they are my pets…. so for me a roach was way more startling than my usual scorpion visitors … bleh!

    WOW – sounds amazing. We don’t have a H+D around here, but I’ll keep my eye out if it’s a new trend.

    Kath! All of this food looks so delicious! I am loving the grilled salad! I love the hot/cold contrast! The PB&J sticks are such a cute idea- you gave them a nice adult twist in that glass! I will have to try making those for my cousins and friends kids!
