Summer Berry Salad with Lemon Herb Vinaigrette

June 8, 2016 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 5 Comments

Good morning! How was your weekend? I hope that it was relaxing. I have been traveling in Philadelphia for the last five days and I would not be exaggerating if I said that I ate at least 5 meals a day! Between the cheese steak and roasted pork sandwiches, chocolate treats at Shane Confectionery, appetizers and drinks, dinner and then desserts I need to do a serious cleanse. 

This week I am going to be doing a lot of “clean eating” and this Summer Berry Salad with Lemon herb vinaigrette is definitely on the menu everyday. 

Summer Berry Salad

6 cups washed spring greens

1 cup raspberries

1 cup blackberries 

1 cup sliced strawberries

 2 tablespoons sliced almonds

1 lime quartered 

Wash all greens and dry, then wash berries. Mound the salad on a plate and sprinkle with the berries, top with almonds and a then add limes. 

Lemon Herb Vinaigrette

Recipe from The Cafe Sucre Farine

Ingredients

1/3 cup olive oil

1/2 cup canola oil

1 tsp. freshly grated lemon zest

3 Tablespoons lemon juice

1 Tablespoon red wine vinegar

2 teaspoons dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon dried mint

2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh herbs

1 tablespoon fresh minced garlic

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground pepper

Combine all ingredients in a lidded jar, shake well. Then let sit at room temperature for a 1/2 hour for the flavors to meld. Store dressing covered in the refrigerator. 

I hope that you have a wonderful week! Enjoy!

    That looks so good. It's so much easier to eat healthy in the summer–the abundance of good produce, the heat that makes you want to eat something light and cool.

“Learn to love and appreciate the good in others “Learn to love and appreciate the good in others.” Good afternoon friends, it’s the last day of February, which is called heart month, not only for Valentine’s Day but for heart health as well. Just because we are turning the calendar page doesn’t mean we should forget that A). We should love and appreciate each other and B). To take care of our hearts! Did you know that heart disease is the leading cause of death in women? Ladies if you don’t take care of yourself no one else can, eat right and get moving, cardio vascular exercise is great for your heart!

This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life through the blur of tears and sorrow. Sunday night my friend of 34 years lost her husband of 36 years, because of Covid he did not get to meet or hold his newborn grandson. Then just an hour ago we received a call that my husbands best friend died of a massive heart attack this morning. Sometimes life just knocks you to your knees and all you can do is pray for the  loved ones you’ve lost, cherish their memories and let your time with them sustain you until you meet again. Then you ask God for the strength to get up and move forward. #life #loss #givemestrength #givemestrengthlord #pray
Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping up from the ground, bright and colorful flowers in the garden center the weather and the calendar tell me otherwise. So I am hunkering down and taking solace inside enjoying the details of a collected home and life. This tapestry is a piece that we purchased over 25 years ago in Paris, it hang in the dining room and makes me smile every time I see it because it reminds me of such a happy and beautiful place. What do you collect? What brings you joy in your home? #collectedhome #collectedlook #homedecor #myhome #homesweethome #interiordesign #frenchprovincial #france #frenchdecor #tapestry #instahome #instahomedecor #acolectedlife #collection
Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. How is it in your “neck of the woods?” We took a long road-trip a few weeks ago to the beautiful @colonialwmsburg . I love this place, there is so much to see and do and even wearing masks and social distancing you can still enjoy the history and the beauty of this living museum. Today I am home doing the weekend chores, and of course doing a little baking. I hope that you have a fabulous weekend. #colonialwilliamsburg #williamsburg #colonialhouse #livinghistory #livinghistorymuseum #museum #winterfun #roadtrip #wanderlust #weekend #weekendvibes #weekendmood

“If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” ~ “If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” ~Percy Bysshe Shelly  my answer to that is I hope not! This has been a strange winter and I am sure that for the 4 million people without power in19 states they are hoping spring is sooner rather than later. I hope that you are all well and keeping safe. I’m praying for all of you without power and heat and hope it is restored soon. #pinkaesthetic #art #acrylicpainting #painting #details #artistsoninstagram #artwork #artworld #color #artoftheday #quote #quoteoftheday #quotestoliveby #artofinstagram
