Cleaning the Refrigerator for Lunch

In a rush and on my way out the door for work the other day I realized I needed something for lunch. I rummaged the fridge and found several fresh ingredients to throw together for a salad.
Mixed greens
Fresh spinach
Blackberries picked the previous day at a local farm
Crispy pecans
Feta fresh from the dairy
Cinnamon salad dressing leftover from the salad made the night before
Oh my, let me tell you how awesome the cinnamon salad dressing tasted with the juicy blackberries, salty feta, and nutty pecans! I could eat this all summer.

They store easily by freezing flat on a cookie sheet and then once frozen place them in a freezer bag. Don't wash them before you freeze them. It toughens the skins.
Fresh from the farm feta

They have wonderful organic raw and pasteurized cheeses but the feta is by far my favorite. This farm has been featured in the Dallas Morning News and can be found at a few farmers markets in Dallas. The Granary in Longview and Tyler often carry their cheeses. If you don't see them, ask for them and they will order them for you.
This farm also offers butter, yogurt, produce, eggs, and fresh grains.

The city may have Whole Foods but out here in the country we have access to the actual whole foods before the go to Whole Foods!
