My dear friend Maria is also a food blogger. We met on Facebook and became close friends almost right away. It’s close to almost 9 years now. She’s in Boston area and I’m on Long Island. We text and talk every single day. There’s always something to talk about. We are able to meet half way in Connecticut for a weekend with our hubby’s and that is the best being together in person. Her blog is called Maria’s Mixing Bowl. She has so many delicious recipes to see. I’ve made a bunch of them.
This salad recipe I’m sharing with you is just a really simple one she quickly make for her and her hubby Rob regularly. It’s not fancy and she took the pic with her phone.
She sent it to me because I told her I wanted to share it on my blog since it’s so delish. I make this all the time.
Her dressing is so simple to make and oh wow, it’s so good! I made it tonight and it’s ready for tomorrow nights dinner salad.
Throw whatever you have in the fridge in your salad like Maria did. It’s the best!
