We have been updating our kitchen a bit to fit our style. Nothing huge – painted cabinets, new back-splash, that sort of thing. I have to tell you, I am loving it! It is, however, taking way more time than anticipated. So many little subway tiles to cut it’s unbelievable. But Daniel is doing a fantastic job and I am helping as a sous tile layer.
Very soon, I’m planning on showing you guys pictures of our new-to-us kitchen. I am so excited! Because hello, my Pinterest “Kitchen Inspiration” board has been overflowing and it was time for a little action in that direction. I mean, the fact that I have a food blog means that I get to do this, right? That’s what I’m telling myself.
Last week, I whipped up a little salad for a bridal shower for a coworker. In my opinion, brunch is a time to stretch my fruit salad wings and go with something a little more adventurous. I had an idea, and had no clue if anyone would actually like it, but I went for it anyway.
Introducing:
Stick with me here.
These flavors are so fresh and light. Here are some of the players: blueberries, cucumbers, plenty of fresh mint, lime juice and zest, and honey. Yes, it really is that simple. It takes only a few minutes to whip up. I cut up the cucumber and mint, and mixed up the dressing the night before. The next morning, I drizzled the lime/honey vinaigrette in and tossed. It took no time at ALLLLLL.
My only advice is toss with a soft spatula because blueberries are so fragile. Wait until the last minute to add the vinaigrette. It was a hit! They all loved it and wanted the recipe. Which, I was really excited about because cucumber in a fruit salad sounds weird. The salad was—I definitely don’t use this phrase lightly—a crowd-pleaser. Try it out for your next gathering and let me know how it goes!
