Mosaic Monday ~Garden Show and a Spring Salad

For my mosaic this week I'm sharing a few images from the garden show I went to last weekend up in Seattle. It was really fun this year since the theme was "Once Upon a Time". I'll be showing some more pics soon, so this is just a preview.


Go take a look at all of the other mosaics at Little Red House.

All that forced spring has been making me crave spring time food like salads. This weekend I threw together a tasty one with some things I had one hand. Baby spinach, mushrooms, red onions, bacon and sliced strawberries.

I wanted something light for the dressing and had just the thing to use as the base.


These blood oranges are so red they are almost black. The juice was beautiful red though.


I also recently bought this garlic flavored vinegar and thought it would go well with the other ingredients.


For the Dressing:

Juice from 1/2 lemon
Juice from 1 blood orange
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 Tablepoon Roasted Garlic rice vinegar
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste

Whisk all together! Pour over your yummy salad. Eat!

I joining in at the Weekend Cooking Party at Beth Fish Reads. Check it out HERE.

I hope everyone will join in over at Cuisine Kathleen for her St. Patty's Day Blog Crawl on March 15th. I bet she will even pen a poem for the occasion or maybe a Limerick!


I also want to invite you to take the Great Cooking Magazine Challenge again this month here at Kitchen Bouquet. Magazine clippings and other saved recipes are fair game as well as recipes from your stacks of Cooking Magazines. The point of the challenge is to try something new and make use of those saved scraps and mags. The challenge will be up Sunday March 2oth. Can't wait to see what you make! Check out some of the older challenges HERE.
