For months I’ve been thinking about a beautiful salad that my friend Greg of SippitySup made. I was quite taken by his use of lemon slices as a main ingredient. I think this is brilliant!
Inspired by Greg’s salad, I created this super tasty recipe, which is very different, but I hope somewhat as delicious and as gorgeous!
This is a lovely vegetarian side or entrée salad. And you could also add some protein — like chicken — to turn it into a hearty meal! I did that the other morning to bring to my parents for dinner. By lunchtime, however, there was only about a half of a serving left. Oops!
(Not to worry, I also brought them a Salt Roasted Chicken!)
You’ll never guess what I’m going to suggest. . .
Yup, get the Salt Roasted Chicken going to have on hand to add to this salad over the weekend!
- 2 tablespoons plain yogurt
- 2 teaspoons honey
- Zest of 1 large lemon
- 1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
- 2 large lemons cut into Supremes (here's how)
- 2 cups tomatoes seeded and cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup English cucumber peeled, sliced into rounds and then into fourths
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh chives
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill
-
In a small bowl, mix the yogurt, honey, lemon zest and vinegar. Set aside.
-
When you cut your lemons (here's how), be sure to save all of the scraps to squeeze juices from, over the salad later.
-
Combine the lemon Supremes, tomatoes, cucumber, chives and dill into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Gently drizzle the yogurt dressing over it, along with any excess lemon juice to taste.
Love the lemon supremes idea!
Ahhhhh… GREG
