Suddenly St. Tropez Salad

Suddenly St. Tropez Salad - June 20th, 2012

After a near sweet-induced coma today from all the Bake Sale goodies, it was nice knowing that I was coming home to make this salad for supper.

Suddenly St. Tropez Salad - page 171

"Beets have a high sugar content but are low in calories, which gives this salad a sweet flavor while keeping you slim at the same time."

To make this salad a meal I added a pan-seared chicken breast sliced over top.

I don't think I've ever had beets in a salad before, but I may now put them in EVERY salad. While having to finely julienne a beet was slightly tedious work, it was much worth it. Just as the write up said, the beets added this wonderful sweetness to the salad. Combined with a splash of balsamic vinegar, this salad basically makes its own dressing. I didn't even add the packets of Stevia that the recipe called for.

I am a lover of goat cheese. Goat cheese in a salad is always great, but sometimes messy getting it in there. Problem solved. Grated Cheddar-Style Goat Cheese. Had never heard of it before reading this recipe and then just the other day I find it in Sobey's 'Inspired' magazine on page 42. It's one of their new products: Sensations by Compliments Cheddar Goat Cheese. Very yummy!!

Niall and I both enjoyed this salad. Something new, and definitely something I will make again.
