I heard last night on the news that we may get snow tonight. Snow, you know, it looks like this:
I don’t particularly like snow – it’s pretty to look at but terrible to drive in and work in…
So I have come up with a plan and I’m hoping you guys will help me out. I think if we just keep wearing shorts and flip flops and drinking white wine and making salads and acting all easy peasy like it’s summer, maybe we can keep the snow away for a little while?
Hey, it’s worth a shot!
Here’s my favorite late summer salad in case you want to play along:
PrintSalad instead of Snow!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cucumber, sliced
- 1 handful cilantro
- 1 bunch salad greens
- 1/2 C cubed white cheese
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 2 T walnut oil
- 2 T olive oil
- 2 T Sauvignon Blanc
- 2 T white wine vinegar
- juice from one lime
- drop or two of honey
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Wash and cut up the greens and add to the salad bowl with the sliced cucumber, white cheese, green onions and chopped cilantro
- Whisk the other ingredients together and drizzle just enough over the salad to make it glisten
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Serve with the balance of the dressing
Anti-snow, late summer salad!
Pour a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and enjoy while wearing shorts and flip flops!
Thank you for your support, I’m a desperate woman.
Got my flip flops and sandals on and enjoying your delicious salad ~ Great photos!

Yum! Every recipe and the photo you share, are sooooo yummy!
I’m with you (snow is pretty) but I’d love flip flop weather to last longer :o)
Blessings & Aloha!
Well, since we rarely get snow in TX and it’s blistering hot in the summer, I’m looking forward to cooler weather! But, just for you, I will eat salads and wear shorts — it doesn’t get cold here until January anyway!!!
My kind of salad! As for that white stuff that begins with a S… I’m not even going to go there! Yikes!
I think too, I prefer salad instead of snow, though the chance to take photos of fresh snow is always a delight.
have you’re staying warm.
I’m with you! I’m on your It’s Still Summer team!
I do love a good salad and yours looks and sounds yummy!
Although Autumn is my favorite time of year, I am with you about snow. Do not want to see it, except in photos – that belong to someone else. I vote for flip flops and green salads too!
I’m the odd gal out this post. I love snow and have had my down jacket out for a few weeks even though I know snow or even really cool weather is a LONG way off. Hope your warm stays for a long time yet. Salad is great anytime.
That looks delicious! I am certainly hoping to continue the growing season for a while. We’re supposed to be mid-eighties tomorrow.
Yes, that beautiful, wonderful framing the first!
I am not big on flip flops, but I would wear them to taste test this salad.
Yum! Sounds delicious … Then again, so does a little snow. 😊
Snow!! Good grief…way to early for the white stuff. But I can help you to drink white wine♥
Not good with flip flops, but I do wear sandals or open toed shoes all year if that helps. I do promise however to drink lots and lots of white wind.
Phyllis,
I can always count on you!!

Since I’m in a city that’s only cold one month out of the year, salad is always on my craving list!
I’m in! Looks like a great salad! {:-D
Sitting here in the sun of S Spain enjoying your lovely salad recipe! (Ooops! Sorry!)
PS Storms forecasted tomorrow – so making hay while the proverbial etc etc…!
Nora,
Whatever….
xxoo,

shorts salad and flipflops great but not snow. some one said we may have snow here in uk in Oct
I wonder if I left out the cilantro would it still be alright? I hate cilantro with a passion….
Freda:
I bet it would be great if you used parsley instead of cilantro. It would still have that freshness without the cilantro flavor.
xxoo,
RMW
I’m with you♫ Think ‘no snow’ and maybe it’ll happen! Love the salad recipe♥ Happy week-end and thanks for visiting me!
Our mountains have had two snows this week and as I type the heater in the house is running and we’ve had our first frost in Denver. gosh-darnit. 🙂

If pretending like it’s summer includes eating salads that sound as scrumptious as this, count me in!
Thanks for linking to the letter “S”…
Spectacular job!
