I Love This Yummy Salad – Episode 32
Written by Rachel, Posted in A Cooking Show with Rachel O, Abundant Harvest Organics, This Week's Feast, Thoughts
Salmon has become quite a staple in our home. I’m a big fan of baking it. It’s easy and always tastes good. We can each eat a whole fillet, but I’m finding that we often have leftovers. So, I’ve been saving them for yummy salads. You don’t need much in this salad, because there are so many other flavors… Fresh corn off the cob, zucchini, roasted and salted almonds, crispy potatoes, fried egg, cornbread croutons, green beans, and a delicious honey-mustard dressing over some lettuce.
Oh boy was it good! I was so happy to eat it!
When I was thinking about what to make for this week’s episode (we’re at episode 32 now!!), I wasn’t sure what to do. Then I remembered this salad that I’d made for myself for lunch a few weeks ago. I had to do it. I just couldn’t help myself.
If you’re not crazy about fish, don’t worry, I think leftover chicken, beef, or pork would work just fine (or omit the meat altogether). I think I’d pick chicken as my substitute preference, but if you’re preparing it, it’s your meal, so make it how you’ll enjoy it!
The original recipe for the cornbread is The Pioneer Woman’s recipe. It’s my favorite!
Even though we still had produce in our kitchen, I really missed getting a box last week. I was so happy to open this week’s box that I had to take a photo of it.
Weekly sign telling you what I’m making.
Pretty lace tablecloth and dishes, all ready for photos. The tablecloth was my Oma’s. I think of her all the time. I miss her. The dishes are from all different places. Antique stores, sales, friends… all special.
I hope you enjoy the show. I sure enjoyed making it for you! Especially the part where I got to eat the food.
