Hey there WLOW fans It’s Rina from I Thee Cook again! I am so happy to be back and bringing you this amazing salad recipe! Some of you may be asking what the heck is a Plout? The Pluot, a cross between a plum and an apricot, looks like a plum. But tends to be a bit more meaty and tastes more like sweet honey. Not to mention it’s gorgeous red color, hence the name. I had bought a bunch from the farmers market and was trying to come up with a way to incorporate them into a salad. Here you have it!
There is just something about fruits in salad I just love. You have warm steak, sweet pluots and the zip of the dressing all along with creamy goat cheese pieces. That my friends is one heck of a dinner. Better yet serve it for friends on a platter; they will be impressed. For more yummy and elegant recipes stop on by and say hi over at my blog ITheeCook.com . Until next time!
