Mediterranean Salad

December 11, 2011 by Jaida Leave a Comment

It was brought to my attention by a friend that I published this post without an actual post – just picture and recipe!! Oops!! Things have been a little crazy lately, and I got a good bit ahead in my posts, so I pre-filled them all with picture and recipe and then went back as I had time to type up the actual post. Apparently this one slipped through the cracks and sat on my blog with no message for two days…yowza.
Anywho, I made this salad for a weekend lunch and it was the perfect light fare. The tangy vinaigrette was light and the beans (both kinds) helped make it hearty enough for an entree salad. Now, you could always add grilled chicken to round it out if you’d like…it would go great with the dressing, feta, and oranges!! I’m a little unsure about calling it a “Mediterranean” salad, because that usually makes me think of olives, and this contains none of those little buggers 😉 But, Martha calls it that, so I kept the name intact. I highly recommend adding this to your menu soon – you won’t be disappointed!!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups mandarin oranges
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar

  • 3+cups Spring Salad Mix

  1. In a medium saucepan of boiling salted water, cook green beans until crisp-tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Drain green beans, and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking.

Welcome!

As a busy wife and mom who also works a full time job, I try to have dinner done in 30 minutes or less so I can spend more of my evenings with my hubby and baby girl, so what you will find here are recipes that are mostly-healthy, quick and easy. Of course I have desserts, less healthy and more time-intensive meals as well (everything in moderation!), but all-in-all, you can count on weeknight friendly options, all made with love and dished up with a side of life, love, and family!
