BrigadaMack_WBTV_5.13.16Prime Time Television @WBTV Studios this Friday with the pretty evening anchor, Brigada Mack.  The cooking segment was a Red, White and Blue Spinach Salad using a couple of The Olive Tap’s products.

Using The Olive Tap’s Strawberry Balsamic in this salad dressing recipe, taken from my book, MaMa Mia Cucina, I only have one word to describe its wonderful flavor:  OMG!

Memorial Day weekend is just a couple of weeks away.  So… for all of the planners out there, here is a fresh, simple, seasonal and tasty salad more than acceptable for the vegetarians, gluten-free and carnivores, alike.  It’s all about options, ya’ know!  Mix it up, serve it up pretty with the protiens and cheeses on the side, if you like.  Add a loaf of fresh bread (GF or not) a bottle of wine, lots of friends and family and everyone is happy celebrating the festivities and each other ~ Enjoy

About Cynthia Ferich

After writing and self-publishing “MaMa Mia Cucina” in 2007, Cynthia's writing, cooking and culinary teachings evolved into being as an entity surrounding food, fun, family and friends.

In an effort to capture her family’s ‘old world’ Italian recipes for future generations to enjoy, her grandmother, ‘Noni’, and Cynthia joined forces. "She measured, I wrote, and we cooked."

During her grandmother's latter 80 years, she traveled in memory through her life, as they shared in stories of a lifetime and long ago. As they shared this final chapter in her life, what Cynthia soon discovered through all of the measuring, cooking, sharing in the love of a family, and in the love of a friendship, was the passion for cooking, and a love that nourishes us all… It’s all about the FOOD!
