Buzz Savories Barbecue Pork Meatballs
Family and Friends, Feast and Football all come together in autumn. I plan simple and easy menus so that I may join the circles of fun and good times instead of flitting about last minute in the kitchen.
The Autumn Salad shouts crisp days and mellow flavors – Honey Crisp apples, crisp bacon, crunchy pecans, diced red onion, dried cranberries and a bright sweet/sour dressing speak cool days and ruby red leaves drifting under the oak trees.
I prepare the dressing ahead 2 days prior to our feast and combine all components except the apples on the day before the feast day. Ten or 15 minutes before serving, chop the apples – no need to peel them. Toss all in a large bowl, add the dressing then chop the salad and serve.
The Autumn Salad is earning 5 stars in my salad retinue because the dressing tastes clean and bright and light and fruity. The chopping is easy and fun to do (can’t go wrong). In every bite I taste the variety of ingredients and over-the-top flavors with a major lift from the extraordinary Autumn Salad dressing.
