Sweet & Crisp Simple Salad

I love a good salad.   Particularly when it's hot outside, a lovely crisp and cool salad seems like the perfect light meal.

This easy to throw together salad is delicious deviation from the traditional salad mix, chopped peppers, grape tomatoes and Italian dressing. 

Sweet & Crisp Simple Salad
 
2-3 c. Shredded Lettuce (I like Bibb and Romaine)
1/4 Small Onion, Sliced
1 Fuji Apple, Thinly Sliced
1/2 c. Sliced Almonds
1/2 c. Shelled Salted Pumpkin Seeds
*1 c. Honey Roasted Chicken Breast, cut in strips (I recommend Perdue's Short Cuts!!)
2 Tbsp. Raisins
2 Tbsp. Dried Cranberries
2 oz. Buffalo Mozzarella
Cracked Black Pepper, to taste

Toss together ingredients, then drizzle with dressing of your choice (I like Panera Bread's Fuji Apple Vinaigrette, found in the produce aisle).  Serve with crusty bread and white wine.  Yum!

*Vegetarian? Try throwing in some sliced portabella mushrooms!

Hey guys! My name's Emily-Grace and I'm so glad you've found my blog! E.G. is all about decor, entertaining, laughter and finding joy in the everyday. The meaning of the name is threefold: 1. "Entertaining" in the sense of providing for guests. ("Hey, come on over for dinner and I'll break out the good mason jars and moonshine...") 2. "Entertaining" is also meant to indicate my love of laughter ("That Emily-Grace. She's hilarious. And she should quite possibly be medicated.") 3. And finally, "Entertaining GRACE" is about the idea of granting each other a certain amount of kindness, mercy, and tenderness. This world can be a tough old bird and the truth is, we're all in it together. When we take the time to celebrate the bright moments we magnify that light to the people around us and, hopefully, add some hope and joy to their lives (as well as our own!).
