Memorial Day weekend is coming up and I'm already planning my menu!
Since the weather's been nice here we've been grilling quite a bit if different food lately, so I need to come up with a new main dish. But one's things for sure is that THIS salad is going to be on the menu!
I first made this back at Easter but never got around to posting about it. Well it's high time because this one is gonna knock your socks off. It's gonna be your go-to summer salad!
A wonderfully light and delicious salad of romaine lettuce, broccoli slaw with an apricot dressing. This attention-grabbing salad compliments any barbecue, grilled chicken or pork. It's irresistible at a potluck or any backyard bash. This will be a star at my Memorial Day cookout, for sure!
This salad's success is in the flavors. Apricots are light and sweet and are present in the dressing as well as in the salad. The romaine and broccoli slaw are perfect together, giving the salad some texture and crunch. You will also love the look of the salad. The orange colors pop against the green and make for one beautiful salad.
Have a great Memorial Day weekend, eat lots of yummy food, and include this salad! You won't regret it!
Enjoy!
