It was myย turnย to “host” for the month. So thatย meant Iย got toย choose the theme. Sinceย September celebrates Roshย Hashanah, I decided onย honey as anย ingredient.
I wentย for aย saladย that wasย inspired byย autumn. For me,ย that meant,ย whole grains, fruits andย nuts. Andย ofย course a sipleย homemadeย vinaigretteย made withย honey.
The salad isย veryย fillingย butย stillย greatย alongside aย half sandwichย or perhaps a bowlย ofย Frenchย onionย soup. Whatever you decideย to haveย withย it,ย I hopeย you enjoy.
