A Southern Life

Southern Season

Spring is here. What is in season?

Spinach

Green onions - sometimes called scallions - but never by me :)

Lots of other wonderful and delicious things are also in season like rhubarb, sugar snap peas and asparagus. Don’t you just love this time of year when the world is waking up from a winter’s nap and starting to take on beautiful color? Spring is one of my favorite times of year. I love feeling the sunshine and how the days start to get longer and longer. It is invigorating and wonderful!

Okay, so let’s put some of those in-season things together for:

Today’s Lagniappe:  Fresh Spinach and Strawberry Salad
Like springtime in your mouth!

12 oz. torn fresh spinach, about 10 c.
3 c. halved or sliced fresh strawberries
1/3 c. sliced green onions
1/3 c. salad oil or olive oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 c. broken and toasted walnuts
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

In large bowl place spinach, strawberries and green onions. Cover for up to 2 hours.

Shake together oil, lemon juice, chill. Shake before pouring over salad. Top with nuts, sprinkle with seeds. Makes 8-10 servings.

    At this time it looks like Movable Type is the preferred blogging platform available right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you are using on your blog?

    Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates. I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.

    Can I simply say what a relief to find somebody that actually understands what they’re discussing over the internet. You certainly understand how to bring an issue to light and make it important. More and more people must read this and understand this side of your story. I was surprised you aren’t more popular since you definitely possess the gift.
