I have mentioned before that I have, traditionally, produced bland salads: iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, maybe a cucumber, maybe some avocados, definately ranch dressing.
*shivers*
Never again!
This gorgeous creation was much more tasty than my salads of yesteryears.
This salad was, quite literally, bursting with flavor. The source of motivation came from a cookbook title, "Light Cooking." I swear, this think was printed sometime in the early 1980s. Oldies but goodies, eh?
I had a lovely blend of spinach, arugula, baby romaine and I can't recall what else (typical me).
I then added shave carrots, bacon and boiled eggs and mushrooms. The dressing was a mixture of vinegar, mustard and olive oil with a bit of salt and pepper. Honestly, could have done away with the salt and pepper. The other flavors served well enough on their own.
At first glance I thought there was artichoke in there, but it was the eggs. Looks spectacular.
ReplyDeleteHi Stephen! It was amazing. Thanks :-)
ReplyDeleteHa and I thought those were almonds, but they must be mushrooms... looks yummy! LOVE a good salad :)
ReplyDeleteHum -- might be a good idea to add nuts of some kind. Interesting!
