Sunday must have been one of my laziest suppers, I lie, I have a number of lazy suppers that I have been making. I decided to make a potato salad but with a twist. I didnt want to make the normal potato salad with mayonnaise and all, I decided to mix in what are normally green salad ingredients. My family are my guinea pigs, I experiment once in a while and warn my hubby just before he eats it and wait for his expression after the first bite. I missed the first bite because I had a feeling this was going to be good.
I made a honey mustard salad dressing, so good that I had dreams about it, Im not kidding, I had dreams of making chicken salads and all sorts of salads I swear I could have lived on salads alone. Thats how good it was!
I gathered my salad ingredients and kept tossing things in until i was satisfied.I had some caramelized onions that I had leftover from the burgers that I was serving the salad with so I chucked those in too. I will also include the recipe for the dressing so that you can have food dreams too. LOL.
