A few weeks ago, I was looking back over my recent recipe postings, and realized that I have done almost exclusively breads and desserts, lately. Really delicious and somewhat reflective of what we have been eating recently, but not great for inspiring you to cook with vegetables.
I guess the real problem is that I hadn't made a great original salad in a while. Most of my recent salads have been repeats of old favorites, or kind of blah. Sad, but true.
Then, the other night, I threw this salad together when my mom and brother were coming over for dinner last week, and I was completely shocked at how much I liked it.
It is so simple, and similar to this salad, but the flavors are slightly more complex, and there is a lovely salty, sweet blend when the almonds mix with the feta. It is so good!
