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.
