One thing I missed while in Kenya was the ability to simply eat a salad. When the weather is warm, my appetite goes down and generally I just want a light meal like a salad. Now that I’m home, I’ve gone into “eat all the salad” mode. This past weekend, I made a delicious harvest salad and some homemade poppy seed dressing.Harvest Salad with Poppy Seed DressingI absolutely love poppy seed dressing. I’m not sure what it is but it has a light, refreshing, yet sweet taste that goes well with so many different flavors.

Harvest Salad with Poppy Seed DressingI also learned that I need to work on my “pouring photos”. I probably should have tried taking this photo with either a tripod or a second person. :)

  10. This looks delicious! I’m hosting a fall dinner party next month for some girlfriends of mine and am planning to do soup and a salad. Think this would be the perfect one!
