Strawberry Chopped Salad & A Giveaway
On a hot summer day I think many of us are reticent to turn on the oven or even heat up the barbecue. I know I go for easy and refreshing food. One of my good friends was visiting last week and we went to True Foods, a restaurant by. I had their Summer Chopped Salad and knew I would be home trying to recreate it.
The salad has strawberries, snap peas and fennel topped with a little cheese, toasty almonds and light white balsamic vinaigrette. I have been loving snap peas this summer. They are tasty raw or cooked.
This Sunday Adventures In The Kitchen launches on KKLA 99.5 here in Southern California so I thought it was time for a celebration which means a Giveaway! Cuisinart ICE-21 Frozen Yogurt-Ice Cream & Sorbet Maker along with an ice cream scoop and a California Milk ice cream freezer container. If you live in Southern California I’d love your help in sharing with your friends. The show will air on KKLA 99.5 FM.
