Twice a month Big C and I like to go to Classic Organic to visit and feed the goats, llamas, pigs and gather fresh produce. The vegetables from this farm are exquisite in taste and texture which sparks my creative juices to make something new!
When my sister was visiting recently, we made this shallot and raspberry infused dressing for a bacon and iceberg lettuce salad. After gathering fresh Italian sweet peppers, heirloom tomatoes, shallots and cilantro from the farm, it was time for another fabulous rainbow salad!
For protein I added garbanzo beans and goat cheese. I eyeballed the ratio of ingredients, so add more or less as desired.
