Summer Stone Fruit & Basil Quinoa Salad
The summer salad you've been dreaming of.
Happy Monday! I mean Tuesday… what day is it? (Just kidding). I hope everyone had a nice Memorial Day weekend.
We headed out backpacking for the weekend – what a joy to (literally!) unplug and get away from it all. Even though I love my normal life so much, there’s just something about being out of cell phone service. I played tons of cards (have I mentioned I am a little competitive when it comes to games? haha). I read a book that’s been on my nightstand for weeks (sorry, Multnomah County Library…). I enjoyed unwinding so much.
On our way back into town, we had some delish pizza at Double Mountain in Portland – I’m happy to say that I felt like the pizza was just as good as the OG location in Hood River.
After getting home, there was quite a bit of work to be done in terms of getting everything cleaned up, put away, and our kitchen put back together. Of course I started by taking a shower and then falling asleep on the bed. Dave took care of all our gear, so when I woke up from my nap, I took charge of dinner… I don’t really feel like it was an even division of labor – he is too good to me! So I wanted to make something special to celebrate being home in the home we love.
This salmon salad was so easy to make – all of the stuff that is cooked just goes on a sheet pan all together for just 20 minutes. And it’s the perfect way to enjoy all my favorite spring/early summer produce – I especially love the dressing. I am the type who will often stick to the same kind of easy olive and lemon juice combo on salads, so I wanted to change things up for this evening. And, as a bonus, it’s already gluten free, and with the omission of the honey, it’s low carb/whole 30/paleo as well!

A power salad for those cold winter days!
February already! February 15th even! What is even happening this year, with this timeline. January was busy and difficult. Our car was hit, while parked (we weren’t in it), so dealing with that has been a daily routine of calling everyone involved to make sure they are doing their jobs. Coming from the hospitality industry, […]
I don’t see an amount for the cream in the dressing
