A Homemade Life: Cherry salad

The cherries came to the market in time for me to make Molly Wizenberg's bread, cherry, arugula and goat cheese salad. You don't need a recipe, just those ingredients, plus some balsamic vinegar and olive oil. And try to mash some of the cherries so the juice becomes part of the dressing. I took her advice and threw it together my own way -- didn't remove crust from bread before toasting for croutons, didn't measure anything, forgot about the miniscule quantity of chopped garlic. A terrific dinner for a hot Sunday night. Also, cherries in a salad are just an excellent idea. I'm going to try to remember that.

  1. I just wanted to tell you I stumbled on your blog by reading your homemade vs store bought story on msn...(wonderful article by the way) and have purchased A Homemade Life because of your blog...What a wonderful read and being I live near Seattle, I cannot wait to go to Molly's restaurant when it opens! Her stories are familiar, refreshing, exciting and sad all at the same time. I couldn't put it down. I just wanted to thank you for the recommendation...can't wait to try her banana bread. Love the baby chicks...
