Are y’all ready for a simple, fruity salad that is a crowd pleaser? I have to admit that this is the first time I made this recipe and it was passed along to me through a family member. Recipe sharing is the best, isn’t it?! I didn’t get the dressing quite right the first time so I tweaked the measurements a little. I advise you do the same or if you already have a lemon dressing that is your favorite, just use that! Obviously fruit salads are very popular once Spring comes along and everyone seems to be making their own version. I liked making this salad because I have never had this specific combination before and I love trying new recipes!

Guess what else?!! I am very excited to announce that I have this new cool little thing that allows me to have a recipe “card” at the bottom of my post and you can print it simply by clicking on the little button that looks like a printer :)

Ingredients for Salad:

  • Romaine lettuce
  • Mandarin oranges (or any orange you like works)
  • Grapes
  • Almond slices
  • Chicken (I didn’t add chicken, but I think it would be super delish!)

Ingredients for Dressing:

  • 1/4 to 1/3 cup olive oil (I added 1/2 cup the first time and it was too much!)
  • 1 lemon- juice and zest
  • 1/4 tsp salt (adjust accordingly)
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Doesn’t this salad look so light and fresh and tasty? YUM! I decided to take these pictures outside because it was such a sunny, beautiful day and I am pleased with how the colors pop!

Always remember that you can add or take away any ingredients to fit your liking; that is the best thing about cooking … you get to do what makes YOU happy!! :)

Keep Calm and Cook On,

Instagram post 2144015539319934467_182012641 A new app (for drawing and painting enthusiasts) called Adobe Fresco was just released, and I decided to give it a whirl. Let me just start off by saying that I'm a huge Procreate fan, but this app is absolutely amazing!! Its live watercolor brush feature is stunning. Anyways, long story short, I decided to do a 30 Day Challenge so I can learn this app inside and out. Join me too with the hashtag # 30daysadobefresco ⁣ See ya soon!! ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #lzcathcart #thesummeryumbrella #doitfortheprocess #illustration #natureartist #ipadartist #createeveryday

Since fall has always been my favorite season I try to get the most of out of it with my home decor! Bring on the gorgeous shades of pumpkin oranges, rusty reds, and sunset yellows. ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #falldecor #pumpkins #farmhousestyle #sunflower

Now, with this color scheme it looks fantastic as a bedspread!
