Today was the hottest day we’ve had so far here in Seattle (high 80’s) since we moved back in mid-January. . . and we have no air conditioning. As I type, we have our portable fans going. . it’s a little warm right now to say the least.

 

I didn’t want to turn on the oven or cook anything tonight PLUS I indulged and bought myself some Ben & Jerry’s so made this simple salad for dinner. I just threw together what we had at home and here are 3 ways to make your own vinaigrette dressing:
