Harvest Salad with Poppy Seed Dressing
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 […]
