Salmon Lettuce Salad with Honey Balsamic Dressing

Written by Published on Updated on October 17, 2022 in Dressings

Hello, 🙂

I have not been cooking these past few days, just preparing salads, because who could possibly cook in this heat. I had some greens in my fridge.  Went to work on preparing my Salmon salad. 🙂  But it’s not the salad that I am aiming for you to try but the vinegar-based salad dressing.  This salad dressing was made with honey and balsamic vinegar.  I usually add mustard but I was out and I definitely was not going to the supermarket just for mustard.  (It was just as good without the mustard)  I used honey but I also added a honey-based balsamic vinegar so that the taste is a bit more intense.  Now, if you are the kind of person who loves eating hot and spicy in hot weather then go spicy. Add a tablespoon of spicy Dijon Mustard or any type of spicy mustard of your choice and garnish your salads.  🙂

How is everyone’s week going so far?  Doing or planning anything exciting for the weekend?  ok, well if you live in Europe you know that this heatwave has been going on for more than a week.   The temps are still quite high during the evening so sleeping has been a struggle for most of us.  Poor Charlie I keep wetting his head to cool off but even he is having a difficult time trying to find a cool place in the house.  

I am actually going to try to find a place to cool off and enjoy my salad!!

Have a great day everyone!!

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie

    Love me some vinegar based dressings! Been making my own for a few months now, and don’t know why it took me so long to start! Even made a homemade ranch. The ranch powder I made also got used for dip, some roasted potatoes, even some grilled chicken. Homemade dressing tastes soooooooooooo much better than the bottle stuff. Thanks for another great recipe Sophie. I hope you found a cool spot to enjoy your lovely creation.
