Spring is in the air! There is nothing better than the feeling of warming up after a long winter, which is why spring is my favorite season...although I kinda say that when every season comes along so don't hold me to that! Spring really is particularly exciting though because the garden comes back to life!!! All of the sudden you have so many fresh ingredients to work with, this salad is a celebration of everything fresh and spring. This is a variation on a salad I make all the time as it warms up. My favorite part is the micro greens they are so yummy and different than your everyday lettuce. This is the perfect salad to serve with your Easter dinner or anytime at all!
You can whip this salad up in no time it just takes a few ingredients and you're good to go!
Springtime Salad
- 1 box mixed micro greens (I've found these at Harmons)
- A few handfuls of mixed greens
- 1/2 cup thawed frozen peas or fresh
- 3 sliced radishes
- 1/3-1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
First, throw your greens in a bowl and then I like to start to layer it with all the pretty stuff. Start with thinly sliced radishes, then sprinkle your peas over the top and lastly the feta cheese. Sometimes I'll add scallions or slivered almond to finish for extra flavor but it's perfect just the way it is. For dressing you can either do a squeeze of lemon with olive oil, or any of your favorite bottled vinaigrettes, but my favorite thing to do is just a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil! Toss your salad gently and enjoy immediately!
