Threw a bunch of pretty much everything into a salad for dinner tonight. It was crunchy and fresh.
Spinach, roasted eggplant,chopped zucchini, carrot, cherry tomatoes, raw corn, tofu. With balsamic vinegar and black pepper.
More summer produce, nectarine:
I love nectarines so much, but haven't been able to get many this year. The organic ones have been so expensive & rarely went on sale. The peaches have been terrific, though! Still, I'm jealous of your nectarine.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking salad. You're my inspiration when I make mine. :)
I actually prefer nectarines to peaches because the fuzz does something weird to my mouth.. but they have all been really tasty this year for me.
Deletei love those salads where you throw everything in! looks delicious! and i LOVE nectarines - they're my fav fruit!
ReplyDeleteYeah, so easy too. I probably could have even thrown the nectarine in too!
DeleteI love summer fruit so much. They make the 80/10/10 diet seem almost doable lol. Your salads are always beautiful and I love how effortless it is for you to just throw them together and make perfect combinations. Yum!
ReplyDeleteYou have some lovely salads too!
DeleteYes, "everything salads" are great. I need to get some nectarines and/or peaches. I've been hesitant though because sometimes the quality is not what it could be, but I think it may be time to take the plunge since we are getting into the "season of mists and mellow fruitfulness."
ReplyDeleteThat's so beautiful! What is that quotation from? It's true, every fruit is really at its prime these months.
DeleteThat's John Keats' To Autumn.
DeleteWill there be bowl food atop radiators and ironing boards at your new digs?
ReplyDeleteI hope so. The lead paint really brings out the flavors.
Deleteha!
DeleteI haven't had any nectarines this year, thanks for the reminder. :) I need to get over my suspicion of eggplant; it looks nice in your salad. Hope the move goes well!
ReplyDeleteEggplant can be weird but I find it pretty fun to eat. Baba ganoush is a good starter recipe!
DeleteHey Maud! My boyfriend was just diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Glad to know you're doing ok!! And eating fresh veggies now!!
ReplyDeleteHe's lucky to have a person like you in his life! Tell him to eat more veggies!
DeleteMmm dinner salads--gotta love them!
ReplyDeleteDinner salads, lunch salads, fruit salads, I'll take em all!
DeleteI always love your salads. And I need more stone fruit in my life. Happy Friday :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nikki. Stone fruit for sure! I'm trying to find some good apricots soon.
DeleteSummer's coming to an end over here in England - I'm going to be getting as many salads like that one down my neck before all the good veggies disappear!
ReplyDeleteSummer veggies are so fantastic, though I am looking forward to fall squashes too! :)
