My first try of a winter salad was many years ago, and to simplify the recipe here...., put all your salad ingredients together in a serving bowl, and then, on the stove, fry up any type of sausage cut up, cured or fresh, onions and perhaps sweet peppers. Then toss together just before serving allowing the greens to wilt just a bit and a splash of balsamic vinegar. Add herbs and spices to your own desire even cheese. Brandon's recipe sounds wonderful!Gardeningbrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10709940044197929905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-675898546713634272015-01-29T12:22:16.997+00:002015-01-29T12:22:16.997+00:00This is all brilliant.

I had some acupuncture last year and was told specifically to eat hot foods, so this will kick me in gear to be a bit more experimental with my winter favourites (celery, avocado, pumpkin seeds, sweet potato and beetroot).<br /><br />Thank you!colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02484411878651364981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-91908287713809194172015-01-28T22:02:56.001+00:002015-01-28T22:02:56.001+00:00I LOVE warm salads!

That gets poured over cold spinach and topped with candied pecans and goat cheese.

He doesn't much like them cooked, and unfortunately my winter salad/vegetable production doesn't keep up. How lovely to have a Nepalese plot neighbour, glimpses of other cuisines and cultures are always so interesting. You have got me thinking about warm salads now.CJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14311693185700341580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-91061187405796074582015-01-28T09:50:51.065+00:002015-01-28T09:50:51.065+00:00Forgot to mention that the peas were cooked with t...Forgot to mention that the peas were cooked with the pea shoots and spinach wilted over the top, presumably.

It was peas, pea shoots, spinach and pulled ham hock with a tarragon dressing and served as a side for Bubble and Squeak! Yummy and, apart from the ham (unless you keep pigs) completely garden based. I'm on the hunt for the recipe! Thanks for the links, will definitely be checking those out! <br />PS Love the 28 ton girlfriend! I went with the family to see The Railway Children at Kings Cross Theatre on Sunday and felt quite overwhelmed when a real steam train and carriage pulled into the theatre! Glorious!

Like you leftover food is not on the agenda other than one or two inedible scraps found in the bottom of the fridge.
