Summer salad days

 Husband M and I went to a friend's cottage up north in late June for a summer gathering.  There was a blistering heat wave at the time but the lake breezes helped somewhat.  

Salmon salad

Ice Cream with Strawberry rhubarb compote

Our host pan fried some salmon and laid out basmati rice along with various salad toppings so we could all make our own dinner salads.  I had chosen our host's homemade dressing as a topping.  It was so delicious I went back for seconds. It is a great idea to do salads like these in the hot summer.

 The dessert was Kawartha Dairy ice cream topped with shortbread homemade by another guest and strawberry rhubarb compote made by our host.

Dear Christine,
I completely agree – when the summer heat kicks in, there’s nothing better than fresh, delicious salads and ice cream! That salmon salad and the ice cream with strawberry rhubarb compote you had at your friends’ place look absolutely mouthwatering. 😋🍓🥗
Warmest wishes,
Traude
