I made the peach caprese salad with some purple basil I found this summer. Not only delish, but it looked amazing too.
Loved this apple salad option. I will try to prepare at home today and taste the flavor!
Peach caprese sounds amazing! I love twists on classics. Of course, they all look great – so ready to up my salad game for the end of summer.
I’m amazed, I have to admit. Seldom do I encounter a blog that’s
both equally educative and amusing, and without a doubt, you have hit the
nail on the head. The issue is something too few folks are speaking intelligently about.
I’m very happy that I stumbled across this during my search for something relating to
this.
those look so good!
The cranberry, apple, pecan seed one looks amazing, might try it for lunch tomorrow!
