The theme for Monday posts in May is…. ‘Medium’ Salads.

I had so much fun doing small salads for April I decided to do it again for May, but with slightly larger salads.

There are the salads that I make for myself for lunch or for the 2 of us when we are having a lighter main course.

The best thing about salads (and soup and risotto) is one can add or delete as the mood fits.

  1. That salad looks delicious!! I’m not so big on honey mustard dressings, but hubs is. He would love this. I’d have to use a little vinaigrette on mine. 😉

    • I’m usually happy with the simple vinaigrette – but sometimes a change is nice. Actually, just a drizzle of oil & vinegar works.
