This salad basically owns my taste buds.
Sometimes I stare at it – milliseconds before I dig my fork in – and think I could probably add something else, this isn’t very revolutionary for a salad. However, this special combination of not-so-special ingredients is the most perfect thing after you get home from the pool and put your baby (er, toddler) down for a nap every afternoon. The most perfect thing.
Oh, and just in case you’re wondering…this salad pairs extremely well with some blueberry cobbler while reading this book. You were probably wondering, weren’t you?
baby spinach | arugula | alfalfa sprouts | white kidney beans | goat cheese | walnuts | red grapes | olive oil + balsamic vinegar + agave| salt + pepper |
Looks perfect except for the goat cheese. I am probably one of the few who finds goat cheese to be icky. Too rancid for my taste and I have given it a VERY fair chance to win me over.
You are not alone. For some reason, I can’t get my tastebuds to like goat cheese either. Its the only cheese I can’t get into. Other than that, this salad looks absolutely delicious! I love all the textures!
Yes, please!!
The salad I’m most obsessed with is completely unoriginal too. I think that makes the best salads.
Also? Adrienne is still a baby to me. I refuse to stop calling her that.
Love you friend!
That salad looks amazing! I make salads for lunch daily to take to work and I always forget to add fruit to my salad…like grapes! And goat cheese….well, goat cheese makes anything delicious.
oh, yum. & the photo editing is way fun
um, this sounds kind of killer to me – way fancier than any salad i’ve made lately!
i’m a big fan of grapes in salad – yum!
Can you come to my house and make this for me? I’m too busy catching up on your blog – I’m obsessed!
wonderful looking salad, Katie! Esp love that goat cheese and red grapes in salads are such a juicy sweet addition!
Looks perfect!
That salad looks amazing!! My salads generally consist of spinach or mixed greens, tomatoes and any other veggies I have in the fridge (or frozen veggies that I allowed to defrost for a few).
I love how satisfying and tempting a salad can be – I really do crave them at times, which is awesome!
Goat cheese, arugula, and sprouts… A woman after my own heart.
Grapes and goat cheese are two of my favorite salad toppings. They go SO well together.
I love fruit in salads. And cheese. And nuts. So, I’d probably like this salad, too.
That’s a gorgeous salad! I’m not good at coming up with good salad combos. Love blogs for that!!! That book looks good.
Your salads always look SO good! I’m always inspired, because I tend to make boring salads. LOL!! You always remind me that salads can be exciting and filled-to-the-brim with amazing foods!
I’m seriously going to make this every single day next week. YOU WATCH ME.
So I’ve now eaten this every day for a week (minus sprouts, plus beets) and I have to say: WINNER. I just love your tastebuds. Thanks for the great combo!
