Summer Salad

A refreshing summer salad to refuel after a challenging trail run

Sorry it’s posting in the winter.

I went for a challenging trail run this morning. This was the first of many meals I’d eat throughout the day.

In reality, this was the fourth thing I consumed. One, a piece of dark chocolate before my run. Two, an RX bar, dark chocolate chip. Three, a Colorado Palisades peach πŸ‘ that dripped all over me on the car ride home.

But, this salad:

Arugula, red Russian kale, and radish from our garden

Locally grown tomato, cucumber, carrot, red cabbage, red onion, and celery

Locally raised pastured chicken

Strawberries and almonds

I also used some blackberry and bourbon balsamic vinegar bottled here locally by a chef

Tasty, tasty dish, dressed with generous amounts of salt, olive oil, balsamic glaze, mustard, and locally bottle salsa

Yum yum yum
