+ This Fiesta Summer Salad is inspired by Marcela Valladolid from The Food Network +

fiesta-summer-salad

This salad BLEW MY MIND… It’s simply amazing! It is seriously a flavor explosion in your mouth. It was inspired by Marcela Valladolid from the Food Networks show Mexican Made Easy. I took her recipe and then went a step further and turned it into a Mexican version of Panzanella Salad which is a bread salad. I added some spiced croutons and it was lovely! Here’s the recipe for the salad and you can find the recipe for the spicy croutons HERE…

Fiesta Summer Salad
Recipe Type: salad
Cuisine: Mexican
Author: Heather // WhipperBerry
Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 3 mins
Total time: 13 mins
Serves: 6-8
This salad is like a flavor explosion, your friends will be blown away!
Ingredients
  • 2 teaspoons cumin seeds
  • 2 teaspoons coriander seeds
  • 1 dried chili de arbol or 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
  • 1/4 cup pine nuts
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • salt & pepper
  • 3/4 cup pitted and halved kalamatta olives
  • 3/4 cup green olives sliced
  • 2 cups grape or cherry tomatoes – halved
  • 1/2 cup of queso fresco or mild feta
  • 2 cups of spicy croutons
Instructions
  1. In a dry skillet over medium high heat, toast your cumin and coriander seeds and pine nuts until the nuts slightly brown. This will take about 2 minutes. Toss and stir the seeds and nuts to avoid them burning.
  2. Once they are finished toasting, add them to a small jar with the extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar along with the salt and pepper. Store in the fridge for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to marry.
  3. For the salad, clean and cut your tomatoes and add to a large bowl. Add olives, croutons and cheese to the bowl and top with dressing

Not all holiday gifts need to be ooey gooey sweet. Savory holiday gifts are just as lovely, sometimes even more so. I personally have been off sugar for 3 months now and I’m really nervous for the holiday season to arrive. Having the house fill up with sweets is NOT what I’m wishing for this Christmas. I would LOVE to get one of these Ball® Sharing Jar soup mixes as a gift. Not only are they soothing to the soul, but they are also good for you as well. - WhipperBerry @ballcanning #soupinajar #printabletags #souprecipe

Soup Mix Sharing Jars 

This year, I’m working on all kinds of fun gifts for the Holidays that will look spectacular gifted inside of a jar. One of my favorites is the White Chocolate Ginger Scone Mix in a jar. It’s really easy to put together a whole bunch of these gifts and really not expensive at all. It’s always a bonus to save a little money during the holidays. @ballcanning #giftsinajar #neighborgifts #teachergifts #sconeinajar

White Chocolate Ginger Scone Mix In A Jar 

As much as we hate to admit it, cold and flu season is on its way. There is nothing more miserable than one of those lousy winter colds. What’s almost just as bad is watching someone you care for dealing with a cold or, Heaven forbid, the flu! I’m always looking for ways to help cheer them up and let them know that we love them and hope for their better health. That’s when I came up with this idea for a Cold and Flu Rescue Kit to share with those loved ones that are suffering. • WhipperBerry

Not to knock commercially prepared applesauce, but when you have the opportunity to enjoy homemade applesauce, you will know the difference. It’s sweet and tangy with the perfect texture.
