We eat some type of salad once or twice most days so I am always looking for new salad ideas. Last weekend we had the wonderful opportunity to enjoy a barbeque at our friend's farm. This is one of the friends we get our beef on the hoof from so have visited numerous times. I love their farm. It is a gorgeous 25 acre spread. They just put in an absolutely amazing and very natural looking babbling brook that can be enjoyed from the spacious deck or in the cute sitting area beside the brook. They are both quite accomplished cooks.
Salads do not need to be fancy or complicated. That is one of the beauties of salads. At the same time salads do not need to be the same old, boring garden or Caesar salad. Don't get me wrong as both salads are quite good but they are over served, being the salads of choice at most restaurants.
Our hosts served a very simple baby spinach salad with pear slices and a delightful maple syrup dressing. It was a refreshing change! The flavours paired nicely together. This is a combination I will be experimenting with. I have a couple of ideas to enhance the salad just a little without complicating it too much.
