Wine and Cheese

Tonight I recreated my latest obsession: The Wine and Cheese salad from Green Rebel.

The description: Spring mix, brie, goat cheese, balsamic strawberries, walnuts, red onions with red wine & honey vinaigrette.

I made my own balsamic strawberries by adding sugar and balsamic vinegar to a bowl of strawberries and letting it sit for about 2 hours. The end result was great.

My red wine & honey vinaigrette consisted of:
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 tsp minced garlic
salt
pepper
1/4 cup canola oil

The finished product!

I also added a chopped chicken breast to make it a balanced meal.
A delicious supper... and much cheaper then the $10 salads I've become addicted to!

Not much else to report. I didn't work out tonight because I read on the bus ride home and made myself totally nauseous. My book was too good to put down though.

I'll make up for it tomorrow. I promise.

If I were a salad lover I think that would be good. I'm pretty boring when it comes to that...ie. no fruit, nuts, seeds..blah blah blah.

I'm holding you to your promise of the gym for tomorrow hunny bunny!
