As spring arrives, my body craves a change in diet and exercise. This is one of those light vinaigrette dressings that I can’t get out of my mind as the weather warms up and we start BBQ season! Although the snow has not entirely melted, we turned on our BBQ and heat up the Big Green Egg AND we made this delicious side-salad. It can be a full meal, too just add cooked shrimp or chicken! I am pairing it with one of my favorite piano pieces by a great Canadian artist – Frank Mills. This salad, this music, and you will believe you can do pliés!
