Finally! Spring has arrived! It’s been a cold-cold winter and my table is beyond ready to enjoy the spectacular spring produce in a bevy of mouthwatering salads. I love just about any kind of salad but there’s something a ripe, juicy cantaloupe that says, “Hey, Spring! How you doing?”
I want to put cantaloupe on everything at this time of year. I love it wrapped in prosciutto on a charcuterie board. I love cutting them in half and eating it directly from its shell and I absolutely love a juicy cantaloupe salad. Spring has me ALL cantaloupe ALL the time. When it’s ripe, it’s ripe!
This recipe has so many of my favorite things – raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens. Wait. Not those favorite things but some of my favorite foods to add to a salad. First, spinach, a tastier and healthier alternative to iceberg lettuce; fresh blackberries though you could toss in a hand full of fresh blueberries, as well. Add a little goat cheese and nuts and you have a wonderful salad, ready to eat!
TIPS:
Arugula is a delicious substitute for spinach if you like a peppery punch.
If you can’t find raspberry vinegar, whisk a tablespoon of seedless raspberry jam into balsamic vinegar for a fantastic and fruity vinaigrette.
