It's Salad Season!! (but isn't it always?)

For me. . .Yes, it's always Salad Season.

Today on my dog-walk with my buddy, Oliver, we still had to avoid sidewalks that are massively drifted over with old clumpy snow. However, there was a sunny-springiness in the air. All I wanted to do when I came home was make a big salad mix.

It varies a bit from time to time, but this one included:

1-1/2 heads of Romaine

1/3 sm. purple cabbage

1/2 lg. Vidalia onion

1 English cucumber

1 celery heart

2 carrots

After tossing I put a big handful in my bowl, then added: 

6 red and yellow grape tomatoes

1 very small mini-avocado

1/2 can drained-rinsed black beans

cubed Manchego and Dubliner cheese

Today's dressing was a variation of my Lemon-EVOO Salad Dressing. I added a little brown mustard, a splash of honey and some finely chopped sun-dried tomato (jarred in EVOO) Mmmm...Tastes like Summer! Lin
