Easy Cranberry Mint Romaine Salad
Here's a quick one I love. Romaine lettuce, cranberries, walnuts, raspberry-walnut vinaigrette, feta cheese, and fresh candy mint from the garden!
SWE Salad aka Lisa B's variation on Lebanese Fattoush Salad
Lettuce - romaine or any variety good leaf lettuce or spring mix
Tomatoes - I like grape tomatoes
Cucumber - the long skinny European ones preferably
Sweet bell peppers - red, yellow, orange or green
Green Onions
Fresh flat leaf parsley
Mint - I like to add a lot of parsley and mint
Cut everything in chunks and toss with dressing. Can either top the salad or toss in pieces of toasted pita bread. I like to use Pita Chips.
Dressing:
Olive Oil
Lemon Juice - equal parts
Minced Garlic - 1-2 tsp or to taste
Sugar - 1+ tbsp or to taste
Salt and Pepper
Add grilled chicken and it's whole meal!
I don't remember the recipe on this one, but it involves melting sherbet and adding in frozen berries and bananas. Refreeze in fancy dessert dishes, and garnish with fresh mint!
And here's how we garnish a Loftus family favorite - spaetzle! Also, if you've never had corn from the Midwest, you haven't had corn.
