Layered Farmer's Market Salad: Lemon Basil Dressing
Hi Friends!!
It's almost Mother's Day weekend... I can think of nothing easier than a make-ahead picnic-salad... Moms throughout the land will be happy some else is doing the cooking...and the bright flavors in this farmer's market layered salad are so delicious!!
I just happened upon some photos this morning...of a Mother's day from 10 years ago...a whole decade slipped by...(how did that happen??)
I was so happy to see that my little guy created a handmade card and we were both smiling BIG... I hope that's how he always remembers me and his childhood... full of smiles...
I know right now, our world seems unimaginable...compared to even last year...but hopefully we can still find time to celebrate the little things, celebrate all the moms, and even find the smallest of reasons to smile BIG.
Speaking of smiling...this salad made me smile...
because:
1. It's Easy to make...who does not like easy??
2. Bright summer flavors... and it's full of vitamins and good nutrition.
3. It's custom-made... make it to suit your family...like bacon?? Add some! Dislike peas?...Omit them. See...it's easy-easy.
4.Cute...putting foods in fun containers might not always be practical...but it's way more fun to serve and eat beautifully displayed foods!!
5. I LOVE my farmer's market. Support local, shop small and farm to table is a great way to eat if you can...
This salad will be perfect all summer long...We enjoy the fresh flavors of the farmer's market and I love how the produce changes as the season moves from month to month. As the options change at the Farmer's Market...so too can your salad ingredients. I think the best part of this salad might be this amazing lemon-basil dressing.
If you make this salad...be sure to drop me a note to tell me what you thought of it.

Line up the graham crackers on the cookie sheet.
Place 1 (one) marshmallow on each graham cracker
Bake at 350 for 4-5 minutes or until
your marshmallows are golden, toasty and puffed.
Add desired toppings and a top graham cracker....Taaa Daaa...
