If there’s one thing I love more than eating food–it’s photographing it! Summer is such a great time for that too, when there are all sorts of fresh fruits and veggies that make for bright, colourful and delicious shots!
For our 2 year anniversary, Andrew and I went to the Keg (thanks to a generous gift card from his boss, Maria! Thanks, Maria!). Anyways, I love trying different salads and thought this time I’d try this fresh spinach salad with dried cranberries! It was so tasty and so simple that I decided to do it at home–why not! All you need is: baby spinach leaves or arugula–whichever you prefer, dried cranberries (which by the way, sometimes contain sunflower oil, so check the label!! Did anyone else know that? Sorry Charmaine haha!), sliced/shaved almonds (I believe at the Keg, they used some sort of roasted almond), red onion and some blue cheese for a little kick! It’s definitely pungent, but wow, for a salad so simple, the flavours blend so nicely! I served this with homemade balsamic vinaigrette (raspberry vinaigrette actually), but regular oil and vinegar would be good too.
Anyways, it’s delicious, easy and cheap to make, so I thought I’d share! Bon appetit! Let me know what you think!
