To quote a certain Food Network star, "Yummo!"This is my first salad from the tray of lettuce I bought yesterday. I clipped the greens from a corner of the tray. The Earthganic Greenhouse manager said that about a third of the tray is a serving but that's a LOT of lettuce! I harvested less than 1/6th of the greens in the tray, rinsed and drained them, and put them on the plate. Then I added tomato, green pepper, carrot and radishes. I made my own salad dressing (see below). For a finishing touch, I included some pecans, havarti cheese, and crackers on the side. It was delicous! I am very much looking forward to tomorrow's salad!
This is what the greens looked like before I added all my other vegetables and 'toppings.'
I made my salad dressing (a vinagerette) out of items that I happened to have on hand. As usual, I just threw some things together--no measuring for me! Splosh, splash, stir... and there ya go!The "Recipe"
Ingredients:
~white wine vinegar
~extra virgin olive oil
~Splenda (3 packs)
~poppy seeds
I put all of that into a jelly jar. To stir it all together really well, I used a frother gadget that we froth milk for our latte drinks (coffee for him, tea for me).
You have to use the dressing right away--if it sits still, it separates out.
It tasted great, actually and I am pretty impressed with me. But to be truthful, I've watched enough cooks on t.v. to have a basic idea.
