This week was Vanilla Fringe’s six-month anniversary! Not like that is really all that cool; I actually think it is weird when people celebrate the half-year mark over the age of ten. But anyway, in honor of VF’s birthday, my friend Adam is putting together a video that I had some of my roomies help with the production of. While we were making this video, I made a Strawberry Poppy Seed Salad and everyone was raving about it! I am not normally a fan of fruit in a salad, but this (no matter what time of year) is an amazing addition to any meal! (update: video here)
Ingredients for Salad:
- Romaine Lettuce
- Sliced Strawberries
- Brie Cheese (remove rind and cube)
Caramelized Almonds:
- ½ cup of slivered almonds
- ¼ cup of sugar
Melt sugar in pan and add almonds to brown, stir constantly.
Cool in foil. Add to Salad.
Poppy Seed Dressing:
- ¼ cup onion grated
- ½ cup of canola oil
- ½ cup of sugar
- 1/3 cup of apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon of dry mustard
- 1 ½ teaspoon of poppy seeds
Whisk all ingredients together to make.
Toss and Serve! Scrumptious!
