The days are finally getting warmer as Spring is in full swing. That means it’s the perfect time to start incorporating more salads into your dinner and lunch rotation. I don’t know about you, but when it gets hot out, the last thing I want to be doing is sitting in front of a hot stove for 30 minutes.
Thankfully delicious salads like this are easy to make and if you want to grill or bake the chicken to go on top it doesn’t require too much time. For all of the fresh fruits and veggies I stopped by my favorite local produce market San Diego Farmer’s Outlet. If you live in the San Diego area this place is a must visit! I go here several times a month to stock up on so many things. Not only do they carry reasonably priced produce but they also have unique items you won’t find many other places.
For example I found this Pomegranate Molasses that I used to create the Balsamic Dressing for this salad. I love finding new ingredients that I can use to change things up in my recipes. Part of the fun of cooking and creating recipes for my blog is the creativity I get to have with my food! I encourage you to find one unique ingredient the next time you go shopping to try out in a recipe. Then you will see how fun it can be to experiment with your food!
