As you can imagine, I’m not super eager to turn on my oven or the stove in this heat. Since Fiancé and I apparently have to eat something that isn’t cereal, I decided a nice, cold salad was in order.
For the dressing, I snagged some lime-coriander dressing from the store and whisked in a little honey and olive oil. It’s divine.
To dress up the salad, we added some black grapes, feta, peanuts, and green onions.
And some lemony, herby grilled (on our stove top, that is) chicken.
Our favorite salad green is spinach, so atop a bed of crispy, cold spinach this went.
This was filling and so, so bright and tasty. It will be just as yummy in cold conditions as it was refreshing here. Or just hang on to this recipe for a couple of months (just a little longer!) and enjoy it when you start getting heat waves in your area.
