Solar food

Sorry guys, busy couple of weeks at work. And unfortunately, I don't really have time for a full blown update. However, it's the first sunny day in about a week, so, in honor of my friend, the sun, here's a brilliant and delicious little salad to make your day a little brighter.

Salad with Brown Sugar Vinaigrette
I cup baby spinach and red lettuce
½ cup mixed black and green olives
2 lemons, peeled and thinly sliced
1 long cucumber, thinly sliced

Vinaigrette
1/3 cup large raisins or zante currants
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
¾ cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons capers, rinsed and drained
Salt and pepper to taste

Place raisins, vinegar, olive oil, sugar and capers in a food processor or blender and blend until very smooth. Put in a jar or bottle with a lid and shake vigorously before serving. Set aside.

Arrange lettuce, lemons, cucumber and olives on a large plate. Drizzle with the vinaigrette and serve!

Enjoy!
