Fall Farmer’s Market Salad

Fall Farmer's Market Salad recipe from ChefSarahElizabeth.com

It is officially Fall! I love everything about this season. The golden tones at the farmers market, the cooler weather, the sweaters, the changing colors in nature, and of course the start of the holiday season! We’re not exactly getting the dropping temps here in Southern California, but I’m holding out hope. We’ve had some weirdly rainy days during the summer and we sure could use some more of that. Yes, it’s just barely the beginning of the season, but I went to the farmers market and found all these beautiful fall flavors. I just had to get them all… even if they’re not perfectly ripe or amazing yet. Hopefully this Fall Farmer’s Market Salad will be inspiration for the season to come on full force as well as for you to enjoy what nature has to offer this time of year.

I always feel like I enjoy the summer, but I don’t particularly enjoy the super hot weather, and I really feel like I come alive in the Fall. Apple picking in Oak Glen, pumpkin patches, Christmas trees, hot cocoa, mulled cider. You name it, I love it! What is your favorite Fall activity?
