Sometimes (a lot of times) I have difficulty
sleeping. I just can’t seem to shut my mind down. On those nights, when I have
trouble getting to sleep, I think about a lot of weird things. The other night
I was thinking about having a mystery dinner that would feature dishes that
reflected titles of popular mystery novels. Having just finished watching
Agatha Christie‘s ABC Murders, I decided that would be the name of my
salad.
It is certainly easy enough to make a salad that contains three ingredients beginning with the first three letters of the alphabet. I chose three of my favorite salad ingredients, fresh apples, beets (in this case golden beets), and cubes of Camembert cheese. It was a delicious combination, not to mention packed with a nutritious punch. I was tempted to toss in a handful of walnuts, as I often do when I make a salad, but decided to leave this as is; I enjoyed it a great deal. It’s colorful, tasty, unique, and so good for you!

*I tend to use a raspberry vinaigrette anytime I have fruit in a salad, which is often. I like the tangy-ness of the dressing, and feel that it really brings out the flavor of the fruit. Here’s the recipe that I use, but don’t feel hemmed in by this, you can use any favorite dressing of your own.

This sounds wonderful! We love beets in salad. I've probably never had Camembert cheese and need to change that.
Pattie you have such productive thoughts when you can't sleep! That salad is just beautiful - my mouth is watering. :)
