Nectarine Salad With Prosciutto Blue Cheese And Lemon Rosemary Thyme Vinaigrette

Grammies in town so she took the kids last night so Colt and I were left home alone..

So when Colt came home we hit the kitchen for a date night in. We scavenged through the fridge and came up with this years summertime salad must have: Nectarine Summer Salad With Prosciutto Blue Cheese And Lemon Rosemary Thyme Vinaigrette.

Whew that was a mouthful! 

Sorry, not sorry for the long name but I wanted to make sure you understood just how amazing this salad is. The dressing is light and fragrant followed by the sweet bites of nectarine, thin salty slices of prosciutto and sharp, salty bites of blue cheese.

Every bite was an amazing mouthful of flavor explosion.

If blue cheese isn't your thing feta or goat cheese would make a great substitute. Chow down, mow down, devour! It won't last long.

Grilled Romaine Hearts Salad with Shrimp and Basil Vinaigrette

Grilled Romaine is a favorite easy healthy salad. Hearts of Romaine are grilled and covered with a delicious basil vinaigrette with shrimp and tomatoes.

I decided to reshare my recipe for Grilled Romaine Hearts with Tomatoes and Shrimp with a Basil Vinaigrette  I originally published in 2012 since grilling seasons almost upon us.

It's a family favorite when the weather is hot and fairly easy to make.

Hot Seafood Salad With Sherry Vinaigrette

Sometimes all I want is a healthy, fast, easy, flavorful dinner. This salad fulfills all those requirements.

I used salmon, shrimp, scallops, kalamata olives and artichokes but feel free to use whatever seafood you prefer. Any firm fish will work well. I like the cold crisp romaine lettuce paired with the hot seafood over the top and drizzled with a sherry vinaigrette, for a bit of tang.  

This salad was based on a fabulous salad we had at Saltys on Alki last year after a visit to Logans cardiologist when he was having heart issues... It was our celebration lunch after he finished his stress test and passed with flying colors. One year down and two to go before we head back to the cardiologist. 

Three years seemed like forever but I look back and realize how fast this last year has gone.. How many things have happened good and bad.. How much my kids have grown and changed.. How this blog has grown and changed.. I want to take a moment and tell you thank you for all the love and support you all provide.

Your daily kind words and friendship mean more to me then you'll ever know..

Lemon Vinaigrette Recipe

The BEST Lemon Vinaigrette Dressing recipe that is so easy to make! It's so easy to make you won't need to buy store bought vinaigrette.

I have a new found love for Lemon Vinaigrette  after having a side salad at Fleetwoods On Maui.

They made a fabulous butter lettuce side salad with a Lemon Vinaigrette dressing. With executive chef Scott Leibfried of Hells Kitchen you know the food was divine!

So for the first meal back at the good old homestead I decided to reconstruct the lemon vinaigrette.

I am now even more in love then I was the first time I tried it, and it made an amazing marinade for the Salmon I will post later.
