Winter Salad

 

Does anyone else already miss summer fruit? Berry prices seemed to have skyrocketed lately and I miss them. However, this winter fruit salad has become a great alternative to summer fruit.

 

I use 50/50 salad blend, persimmons, pomegranate arils, and pumpkin seeds. I've also put in sliced cranberries for some tartness. If you've never had a persimmon: they are delicious! They have the sweetness of a papaya and the texture of a pear.

From Dinner to Lunch #1

Honestly, I plan most of my meals based on what leftovers I can use in my lunch the following day. Hence, a new series "From Dinner to Lunch". I'm hoping this will become a weekly series to help you save time and energy.

For dinner we had: chicken apple sausage, steamed corn and zucchini, and quinoa.

I used the leftover corn, zucchini, and quinoa to create a salad when added with grape tomatoes and goat cheese crumbles. Maybe one of the best salads ever!

Happy lunching!
