I was asked to bring a green salad to my niece Maddie's birthday party on Sunday, and I put together a winner. It's a light, sweet, and simple salad which is perfect for summer. It includes the smallest amount of honey, sliced apricots and fresh lemon juice. It was a hit at the party, so I thought I would share! Recipe is at the end of the post.
I liked the salad so much, I made it again yesterday for a picnic with Roswelle. It was one of those Mondays, where both Roswelle and I needed to be outside. She was clingy and I was frustrated and we had two hours together until her next nap. Less than a half-mile away from our house is a small, shaded spot on the "hill" in our neighborhood; the perfect spot for a picnic. We didn't need much: a blanket, snacks (this salad included), and drinks. This little 45 minute outing turned my day around - I think we may go again today!

handful of arugula, dash of evoo & white balsamic vinegar, fresh lemon juice, 1/4 tsp of honey, goat cheese, sliced apricots, dried cranberries, and walnuts. I also priced it out based on my receipt; it comes to a less than $4 lunch!
