Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - A Christmas Scene and a Kale Salad

Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date.

 The art theme is 'A Christmas Scene'. Here is my ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2").




 For the Dinner date, I am sharing my kale salad.


 Back in the summer my friend S had dropped off some fresh kale from her sister's farm along with some of S's garden tomatoes.  I chopped the kale leaves into small bits along with celery, carrots, red pepper and the cherry tomatoes.  I made a dressing of olive oil, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano leaves, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes and lemon juice.  It was so refreshing and good.

  15. Two excellent choices. The Christmas Theme for your painting, and the Kale Salad. I'm taking a Pasta Salad to our daughter's Christmas, We are keeping it simple this year with sandwiches and salads, fruit trays and desserts.
