A Dash of Summer Strawberry Spinach Salad

July 1, 2011 by Momstart 13 Comments

I was looking in a magazine for recipe ideas while making my meal plan this week and inside of Cooking Light I found a recipe for Strawberry Spinach Salad. Strawberries are in season right now so I quickly added it to my meal plan.

The salad of course needed a few changes, everything always does. I didn’t exactly have all of the ingredients that it called for. It called for Raspberry preserves, well I forgot to buy some, plus I wasn’t really interested in buying them for one recipe. It also called for 1 Tbsp. of Mrs. Dash Lemon Pepper Blend (because it was an advertisement for Mrs. Dash) and I couldn’t find the Lemon Pepper blend anywhere. I even looked at three different stores. So I gave up and just used an Italian seasoning blend of my own.

The fun part of the salad was getting to make my own dressing. I’ve never made salad dressing before and actually thought it might be difficult to do. It was so easy and tasty that I can’t wait to make it again. The dressing did call for Rice Vinegar which isn’t something that I usually have in my pantry; however, now that I’ve been properly introduced to how easy it is to just SPLASH on your every day foods to pump up the flavor and make dressing with it’s going to always be in my pantry. (Plus I’m a NAKANO ambassador, without them telling me to give it a try I’m not sure I would have, and now that I have I’ll be using it again and again.)

New Wish Bone Salad Dressing Flavors Liven Up Your Salad Giveaway

February 24, 2011 by Momstart 967 Comments

This year, we’ve been working on eating more greens. I’m making salad for the kids and we just tried roasting asparagus. Salads and veggies can be tasty and healthy, sometimes you just need to be creative with your ingredients and dressing combinations.

Wish Bone Salad dressing sent us a really cute gift basket full of three new salad dressings to try. They sent us Bruschetta Italian, Superfruit Berry, and Mediterranean Italian. As I love salads, I’m very excited to try all three of them. I’m most excited to taste the Superfruit Berry Salad Dressing because I love having a little sweetness in my salad. Which is why I sometimes add cranberries or oranges to our salads. I’m also very interested in trying the flavor that they didn’t send me, Greek Vinaigrette. I love a good Vinaigrette! Of course, I want to try them all.

The four new Wish-Bone dressings are great on greens, but they also go beyond the salad bowl, as marinades for meats, vegetables and fruits:

· Greek Vinaigrette, made with feta cheese and ripe black olives

· Bruschetta Italian, inspired by the classic appetizer and made with sun-ripened tomatoes and sweet basil

· Superfruit Berry Vinaigrette, with berry and pomegranate juices

· Mediterranean Italian, made with feta cheese and a refreshing squeeze of lemon

imageNext time we plan on roasting asparagus I’m going to use the Bruschetta Italian instead of oil. Oh Yum! In order for you to have your own Salad night, Wish Bone and I wish to share this recipe with you and one lucky reader will win the same Wish Bone Salad Gift Basket that I received.
