Caesar Salad Supreme Lives Up to Its Name

My friend Emily made me the most delicious Caesar salad last night.  She got the recipe from All Recipes and it's called Caesar Salad Supreme.  This recipe is sans anchovies!  Yeah!  While my husband can down a pizza smothered with the little buggers, the slippery shiners are just too strong for my palate.

This recipe uses mayonnaise, garlic, Worcestershire Sauce and mustard to get a spicy tang.  My friend reduced fat by substituting a low fat mayonnaise for the full calorie cousin.  This spicy version of Caesar dressing will put a smile on your face!

Fruit Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette

Here's my take on a summer fruit salad. The twist is a Balsamic Vinegar infused with peaches or another flavor of your choice. This can be drizzled over any ripe fruit to give it a fresh tang.

Two small plums

One white peach

One nectarine

1/2 cup wild blueberries

1/2 lemon- fresh squeezed juice

One tablespoon peach infused balsamic vinegar

Chop the plums, nectarine and white into small equal sizes cubes- no bigger than an inch. Add fresh or frozen wild blueberries. Combine in a bowl. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over everything and add one vinegar. Stir and taste. More vinegar can be added.

You can also try fig, vanilla or any other dessert flavored infused vinegar to give your fruit salad a summery taste.
