Waldorf Salad {with Honey-Cardamom Dressing}
One by one I’m recreating classic salad recipes to share on Lemony Thyme.

Blueberry Goat Cheese Crostini {with Honey & Lemon}
Blueberry Goat Cheese Crostini {with Honey & Lemon} There something really wholesome about a beautiful bowl of fresh spinach and mixed greens sprinkled with the fruit of summer.
