| Roasted Onion and Fig Relish |
If you are not familiar with figs I highly recommend giving them a try.They have such a rich complex flavor, unlike almost any other fruit. Wrap them in proscutto or make this wonderful relish which you can enjoy with cheese and crackers.

A healthy way to add zip to your menu planning is to experiment with different grains. Wheat Berries have a terrific nutty taste and are super nutritious especially in this colorful salad.

ReplyDeleteYou too Lisa, it wouldn't be a party without you.
DeleteYour salad looks simply delicious! I always enjoy dill and cucumber together and it looks so pretty with the red onion too. This week I've shared a Peach, Proscuitto and Parmesan Salad. Thank you for hosting, Diane.
ReplyDeleteWow, your salad sounds really amazing April... can't wait to check it out.
DeleteYour salad looks simple and delicious Diane. There's something magical about cucumbers and dill. Thanks for hosting each week and I hope you have a lovely weekend.

Yes, dill and cucumber are a perfect match... I really liked this oil free dressing too. It seems to bring out the brightness of the cucumbers. I hope you get to try it.
DeleteI love a refreshing salad like anything with cucumber. Looks simple and delicious. We visited the Adirondacks for the first time this summer . So beautiful..
ReplyDeleteMy husband grew up going to the Adirondacks every summer. He calls it, "God's country." It is awesome to behold.
DeleteHappy Friday Diane! I love the refreshing salad - today I brought a lemon caprese salad and a decadent cake. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteLike the balance of salad and cake.
DeleteThis sounds delicious! I grew up eating fresh cucumbers in vinegar (and my grandma always added a little sugar), and I always add dill to mine. I bet the addition of red onions would be even better!
ReplyDeleteThe red onion balances the sweetness. Sounds like you would like this recipe.
DeleteOh mercy - I just love anything with red onion in it! Looks fab!
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting. :-)
