Mandarin Oranges: Incorporate mandarin orange segments for a citrusy twist. Blueberries or Raspberries: These berries complement strawberries beautifully. Herbs and Greens: Arugula: Mix in some arugula leaves for a peppery contrast to the sweet strawberries. Fresh Mint or Basil: Chopped fresh herbs can enhance the overall freshness of the salad.

Thank you so much for supporting my site To store the Strawberry Spinach Salad with Feta (including cherry tomatoes) and keep it fresh for later consumption, follow these steps: Refrigeration: Store the salad in an airtight container or a sealable plastic bag to prevent air from reaching the salad. Make sure the container is clean and dry. Keep Dressing Separate: If possible, store the dressing separately from the salad. This helps prevent the salad from becoming soggy. Temperature: Refrigerate the salad as soon as possible, ideally within two hours of preparation. Store it at a temperature of 35-40°F (1-4°C). Seal Properly: Ensure the container or bag is properly sealed to maintain freshness and prevent odors from the refrigerator from affecting the salad. Layering: If you must store the salad with the dressing, consider layering the ingredients. Place the heartier and less absorbent ingredients (like the spinach, strawberries, cherry tomatoes) at the bottom and the more delicate items (like the feta) at the top. Use within 2-3 Days: Consume the salad within 2-3 days to ensure it stays fresh and safe to eat. The salad may become less crisp over time. Toss Before Serving: Before serving, give the salad a gentle toss to redistribute the dressing and ensure an even coating. ​ Remember that the salad may not be as crisp after refrigeration, especially if it has been dressed in advance. By keeping the dressing separate and following these storage guidelines, you can help maintain the salad's texture and flavor when you're ready to enjoy it.

Natural release: Allow the Instant Pot to do a natural pressure release for about 10 minutes before manually releasing any remaining pressure. This helps the pork to remain tender and moist.

ENJOY!~ Make homemade Marinara Thank you so much for supporting my site To get even bread sticks, use a clean ruler, place at the edge and cut with a pizza cutter (long strip) cut in half. Repeat until the end. This will give you nice even breadsticks If you like your bread sticks "really" crunchy Follow these steps: ​ ​ Flour and Water Ratio: Use the right ratio of flour and water in your dough. Too much water can result in a softer texture, while too little can make the breadsticks too dense. Aim for a slightly firmer dough to achieve the desired crunchiness. Kneading: Properly knead the dough to develop gluten. Gluten gives the breadsticks their structure and helps create a crisp crust. Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic. Resting Time: Allow the dough to rest after kneading. This resting period helps the gluten relax and makes it easier to roll out the dough to the desired thickness. Baking Temperature: Preheat your oven to a high temperature, usually around 400°F (200°C) or higher. A hot oven helps to create a crisp crust on the breadsticks. Baking Surface: Use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This will prevent the breadsticks from sticking and allow them to crisp up evenly. Egg Wash: Brush the breadsticks with an egg wash before baking. This will add shine to the crust and contribute to a crispier texture. Steam: Place a pan of hot water in the bottom of the oven while baking the breadsticks. The steam created will help develop a crisp crust. Bake until Golden Brown: Bake the breadsticks until they are golden brown. Keep a close eye on them to avoid over-baking, as this can make them too hard and dry. Cool Completely: Allow the breadsticks to cool completely on a wire rack after baking. This will help them retain their crunchiness. ​ ​ By following these tips, you'll be able to make deliciously crunchy breadsticks that are sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
