Heat Cabbage & Leek Salad · Thyme for Cooking

The theme for Monday posts in April is Small Salads.

We love salads, each huge (predominant course) and small (first course or mild lunch).

Once we first moved to this aspect of the pond bottled salad dressing was a uncommon (if ever) discover. It’s gotten to be extra accessible right here however I’ve by no means gotten out of the behavior of constructing my very own. It’s simply really easy and there aren’t any unpronounceable substances in it.

Attempt it with this month’s straightforward salads.
