I am really loving salads of all sorts right now! I came up with this salad recipe by using leftovers I had in the fridge and pantry. It is so light and refreshing, but I have to say, the dressing makes this salad. Hope you enjoy.
Ingredients: (For the salad)
*8-10 oz of uncooked bowtie pasta ( you can use any pasta you have on hand)
*1 cup of seedless grapes – halved
*1 orange, peeled and segmented
*1 bag of fresh broccoli cut into bite size pieces
*1/4 cup of almond slivers
*1 tsp salt and 1 tsp of pepper
Ingredients: (for the dressing)
*1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil (I recommend Simply Infused!)
*1 tsp of salt and 1 tsp of pepper
*the zest of 1/2 lemon and the zest of 1/2 orange
*the juice of one lemon and the juice of 1 orange
*1 tsp coarse mustard
*1 Tbs honey
*1 Tbs apple cider vinegar
Directions:
*Cook the pasta according to directions on box, drain, rinse with cold water
*Chop broccoli, grapes and orange
*Combine the pasta, broccoli, grapes, almonds, salt, pepper and orange segments
For the dressing:
*Combine all of the ingredients for the dressing. I use Ball jars because they are easy. Shake until mixed. Pour over salad and put in fridge for 30 minutes or longer and serve cold!
