Easy, quick and luscious. Coming home from yoga and starving from all the burning of calories and energy lead to this lovely being thrown together. No measurements, just the being lead by what called to my body at the time.
Apres Yoga Salad
Organic butter leaf lettuce
Sliced Anjou Pear
Organic broccoli
Sliced red onion
Small pieces of sharp white cheddar cheese
Pine nuts
::Maui Dreams Dressing::
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 balsamic reduction
salt to taste
pepper to taste
1 Tbsp dried Oregano or to taste
1 Tbsp dried Basil or to taste
1/2 Tbsp dried Thyme or to taste
1/2 Tbsp Cumin powder or to taste
I used a very thick balsamic reduction for this and it will not fully emulsify the oil. But it created a lovely tart sweet tasting dressing. Makes enough for several uses.
1. Take all the ingredients and whisk together until they are all blended. Serve immediately. Keeps well in the refrigerator for up to a week.
2. Drizzle over salad with a spoon.
Best if eaten outside on a breezy patio.
Namaste.

Pears always make a lovely addition to a salad.
I agree, especially when combined with a sharp cheese!

Refreshing and clean- a great summer treat! And butter lettuce is my number one favorite.
