Horseradish....a key ingredient in Bloody Mary's and this Recipe!

I think horseradish and butterscotch are two flavors that don't get the press they deserve.  A girls beach trip last year introduced me to my first Bloody Mary and the key ingredient horseradish!  More recently, Trader Joes came out with a horseradish hummus that is so amazing I am officially addicted!  Butterscotch....a few haystacks now and then and I'm good but still working on the perfect recipe for Butterscotch scones, stay tuned!  

Ok...so, let's talk about this salad and the fact you can make the dressing in a mason jar (yes, the same mason jar I will feature later this month in a Bloody Mary Bar....and now we have come full circle!)  At dinner in Atlanta a few weeks back I had a delicious salad topped with develed eggs, steak and a lemon horseradish vinaigrette....here is my version.  Perfect for summer, great for eating healthy, easy to make and assemble and no need for a side item because you have your veggies and protein all in one.

This salad would be great topped with grilled shrimp, fish, chicken, even a portabella mushroom...I think it is my favorite "Tailgating Tidbits" recipe this season!
