Green Salad with Pine Nuts and Lemon and Lemongrass Vinaigrette

Welcome to the April edition of the Improv Cooking Challenge! Our host, Nichole Little of  Cookaholic Wife challenges us each month with two ingredients.  This month is it lemon and lettuce.  I made a simple green salad with wonderful flavors and a beautiful vinaigrette.

The Improv Cooking Challenge is a monthly blogging event where two ingredients are assigned and bloggers share their creations on the second Thursday of each month. If you’d like to join us, please visit our Facebook page. We also have a Pinterest board where you can check out creations from previous months.

Like I said, this is a simple salad.  It goes perfectly with pasta and heavier dishes because it is light and refreshing.  It clears your palette each time you eat in a soft, pleasing way.  Let's see how we put this all together!


It's Salad Bowl planting time and I am ready to start picking my own lettuce.  With the coronavirus all around us, I am late putting out the seeds.  Still, hopefully, we still have time to plant and harvest some sweet spring lettuces. I usually plant my favorite bib lettuce, romaine and some kind of salad bowl mix.
