MARCH FORTH! SALAD WITH ORANGE-POPPY SEED VINAIGRETTE



March Forth! Salad With Orange-Poppy Seed Vinaigrette image

Vinaigrette recipe adapted from yankeemagazine.com. Best prepared at least one hour in advance of serving. The salad recipe is my quick invention this afternoon to use produce on hand in the refrigerator. I stumbled upon small organic parsnips recently and was very excited to find them! If you cannot find small parsnips (no more than 5" long), you're better off omitting them from the recipe. Created on 4 March 2009.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the salad will taste. If possible, use organic produce.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing will overwhelm the other flavors in the salad.
  • Let the salad rest before serving: This allows the flavors to meld and the dressing to soak into the ingredients.
  • Serve the salad at room temperature: Cold salad is not as flavorful as salad that has been allowed to come to room temperature.
  • Experiment with different ingredients: There are endless possibilities when it comes to making salad. Try different combinations of greens, vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds to find your favorites.

Conclusion:

The recipes in this article are just a starting point. Feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors to create your own unique salads. The possibilities are endless! With a little creativity, you can make a salad that is both healthy and delicious.
