A long weekend at the beach and its Monday. Still here, I am sooo lucky. All I want for dinner tonight is something easy and delicious, full of greens and veggies, cool and refreshing. Can’t get enough of the Indian Summer sun and sand – I know what’s ready to roll around after the leaves turn and fall. I love, love, love the warmth – and dread when its time to put on coats and hats.
Here’s one of my favorite dressings, if you can round up a couple of end-of-the season tomatoes, it will be even better. Top greens and lots of veggies, avocado, olives and beans for a complete meal in one bowl. Perfect wind-down to summer and HELLO to fall. (Woohoo – I won’t be greeting those golden leaves in Atlanta til Thursday. Yey!)
