Salad Party In My Mouth!

During a 6 mile walk this past weekend, my awesome friend, Kathy J., and I swung by the Meridian Township Farmers' Market in Okemos, MI.  We were really just checking out the scene and killing time, and we stumbled upon a booth with these very tempting hot sauce samples.  Being the spice connoisseur that I am, I couldn't resist.  After all, they were free samples!

The woman running the booth was Kathy Sansonetti of Sansonetti Foods www.sansonettifoods.com.  Her and her husband are from Holly, MI and make the most amazing and zesty homemade sauces, from Michigan Cherry BBQ to Jamaican Jerk.  We must have sampled all of her recipes (thanks for putting up with us, Kathy S.)!  So, thinking of how I would incorporate some of Sansonetti's mustards into my hearty salads and quinoa, I bought the Roasted Red Pepper Mustard and the Spicy Curry Mustard.  They both add incredible kick to anything that requires it!

Today, I used Sansonetti Roasted Red Pepper Mustard as a creamy and tangy dressing in my salad.  Here's what I just ate for lunch:

• 1 c. mixed raw cabbage or coleslaw mix
