Refreshing Summer Salads

July 18, 2019 By tuttleparty0f5 No Comments

Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

The Dog Days of summer have officialy arrived here in Central Illinois.  I don’t know about you but when its this hot (115 degree heat index plus humidity) I prefer a cold refreshing salad for lunch and/or as a side for dinner.

Spinach Salad

One of my go to salads that you can pretty much bet I have all the ingredients on hand any given day of the summer is a Spinach Salad.  Now, I wish I could take credit for this lovely combination but our dear friend Diana made it for me once and I was hooked! Yes, I always have spinach because my kids are weird and love to east dry uncooked spinach by the handfuls.

Anyways….Here it is!

  • Orchard Valley Salad Toppers Glazed Pecans and dried cranberries

Panzanella Salad

One of my absolute favorite “salads” is Panzanella.  I know its not a typical “salad” but I do make it in place of one so to us… it is!

Print Recipe

Panzella Salad

Ok, this one requires some prepping and chopping for sure but its so worth it!

Ingredients

  • French Baquette
  • Olive Oil
  • Garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper
  • Everything but Bagel seasoning if you have or want
  • Balsamic Vineager
  • Brown Mustartd
  • Minced Garlic
  • Italian seasonings
  • 1-2 cucumbers
  • 2 Bell peppers any color or more if you want to make batch for a crowd
  • 1 container Grape Tomatoes (I personally omit this because I am allergic.
  • 1 Large Onion

Instructions

  • First cube the baquette. Drizzle it with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Then slightly crisp up in the oven for 25 minutes at 225 degrees.
  • Then Chop up the peppers, onion, cucumber, and tomatoes into chunks and toss in a bowl.
  • The dressing I don't have exact measurements I do it all by taste. Mix  about 1/8 of a cup of Balsamic Vinegar with  1/4 cup of Olive oil, about 1 tablespoon of brown mustard, 1/2 - 1  tablespoon of minced garlic, salt, pepper, and italia seasonings to taste.
  • Combine the veggies, bread and drizzle with the dressing. Let it all marinate for 30 minutes to and hour to combine and bread to soak up all the goodness.

Notes

Enjoy!

Another whirlwind of a weekend full of an out of t Another whirlwind of a weekend full of an out of town soccer tournament where the girls brought home the championship, league soccer games for Beau in a different town and celebrating Mae turning 9. This has been by far the fastest 9 years of my life but I have loved and cherished each and every day watching her grow. Can't wait (they can slow down however) to see what this girl does in the next 9 years... 

Happy (day late) birthday, Mae.
