There is
always time for a delicious and fun salad. But before you can start with the
salad, you need an amazing dressing. Here is a fun fruity one that I love to
use for spinach salads. It’s a Balsamic
Fig Dressing that uses fig jam and balsamic vinegar. I love the sweet
savory taste in this dressing and since you make it in a food processor it emulsifies
and gets nice and creamy.
My favorite
salad to serve this on is: baby spinach
salad with pieces of fresh mango, toasted pine nuts and crumbled feta cheese.
It’s a perfect spring and summer salad great for any occasion. It’s even
fantastic to eat alone. Because you know, even though Foodgasms are best shared
with others, they are just as tasty when dining alone.
