you can make friends with salad

I had a dinner party (with my NEW dining room table; more on that later!) and the bocconcini salad with a honey balsamic vinaigrette was a hit!  The salad part was easy peasy: greens, basil, cherry tomatoes and bocconcini.  My sister, Kaitlyn, made the dressing.  THANKS, Kaitlyn!  Check out the fierce salad pictures I took!!!

I usually take pictures at night because this time of year, Calgary has about 6 hours of sunlight :(  I took matters into my own hands with a home made light diffuser (lamp on a chair, lol).  How’s my lighting?!

    1. LOL!! My hubby hates salad too! For me, I need to load my salad with some kind of meat or cheese. Then I'm all over that salad.
