Summer Salad ....FAIL!

When I think of summer I always think of light eating, salads were always big at my house so I tend to gravitate towards them during the summer months, cause their easy to make, easy to share and light on the tummy. So for lunch I decided against my tried and true (spinach strawberry salad) and make an orchard salad, or maybe I should say my version of a summer salad... so I look in the fridge and what do I have...

• spinach and radicchio blend
• red and green apples
• dried cranberries
• cinnamon almonds
• raspberry vinaigrette
• Gouda cheese

SCORE!!! fun, yummy salad here I come! 

I was so excited to put it in my mouth and make it my own... I bit down and and instantly tasted the tart-ness of the apples and the crunch of the almonds, then I tasted it... the Gouda.. and it went down hill from there, then my fantasy was over and so was my orchard salad eating days. But no worries, I'm the girl who will try anything once, I will go back to what I know and research other summer salads... if any of my fair readers have any ideas... feel free to place them in the comments below.
