The other evening when we had guests over for dinner, I prepared the Ham and Cheese Pies and the Cranberry Relish that you see on the plate and our guests brought a Caesar Salad. Our meal and time together were wonderful. I will be posting the recipe for the pies and the relish in the next few days, but today I want to share with you this dinner salad that we had last evening with our leftover pies. This is a recipe that we have enjoyed many times over the years. The salad is a wonderful combination of fresh spinach, apple and orange slices, and cashews all topped off with a lovely dressing that is made with pink lemonade, of all things. Blessings...
Recipe:
1/4 cup frozen pink lemonade concentrate, thawed
3 tbsps. honey
3 tbsps. vegetable oil
1/2 tsp. poppy seeds
2 apples, cored and sliced
2 oranges, peeled and sectioned
6 oz. bag fresh baby spinach
1/2 cup cashew pieces
1. In a small bowl, whisk together the first 4 ingredients for the dressing and set aside.
2. Pick over spinach to remove any old pieces and stems, and tear into bite-sized pieces, if you like. Add sliced apples and oranges. Add dressing to your taste and top with cashews. Toss and serve.
Yield: 4-6 servings
