So lunch today is leftover Apple and Sun Dried Tomato Salad... I get organic sun dried tomatoes jarred in olive oil at my local PCC food co-op, (I love PCC), and local organic apples pretty much anywhere, (Washington grows a LOT of apples!) so I came up with this salad which has a wonderful combination of flavors and crunch:
I start with about two cups each of arugula and spinach although any combination of salad greens works--(arugula and beet greens would be especially good!). Then, I chop an apple, four green onions, about 1/2 cup toasted walnuts, and about 1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes (the jarred kind, not dry). This time I added about a cup of finely chopped red cabbage for some extra crunch and about 1/4 cup of crumbled bleu cheese (which is not perfectly paleo, but is very yummy). I tossed it with a homemade viniagrette of apple cider vinegar, a teaspoon or more of stone ground mustard, olive oil, and a splash of balsamic vinegar. This made enough for two really large main course salads, or four side-dish type salads. It is excellent with leftover chicken, steak, or Karney's Paleo Stuff!
