First let me say thanks to those of you who have hung in there during my “slow blogging season”. I just realized that I only did 2 posts in all of April, which makes me sad. Good news is that my lack of posting, in this case, means that I’ve been quite busy, as mentioned before. And I’ve added even more since that last list was made, so THAT means I have lots and lots of photos and news to blog about, which I hope will be good news for you.
Roasted Beet Summer Salad
Today I’ll start with a quick and delicious recipe that I tried tonight.
Something that I LOVE about the internet (and Google in particular) is that I can type in a couple of ingredients that I have on hand and find a recipe that uses those exact ingredients. In this case I have fresh peaches that were picked at the Queen Creek Peach Festival (more on that in a future post) and some freshly roasted beets that I wanted to use in a salad. So…I Googled “peach and beet salad” and this is one of the recipes that I found.
The original salad recipe can be found here at the PCC Natural Markets site. As usual, I tweaked it to fit the ingredients that I had on hand. You can check out the recipe for ideas on quantities and other options. Here’s what I used.
- red beets
- green onions
- yellow peaches
- fresh spinach
- crumbled goat cheese
- sugar snap peas
I hope you get a chance to enjoy this salad sometime this summer.
