After my big Thanksgiving weekend, there is one thing I want
– SALAD. Eating big meal sized salads for days in a row (at least 1 meal /
day), I feel better about terrible eating choices I made on the weekend.
When I make a salad, there are few ingredients I almost
always have / change up:
Romaine Lettuce
Cheese (usually goat or Parmesan)
A protein (either fish, nuts tofu, lentils etc)
All of the produce I have available to me
Vinegar! (I LOVE sour salad)
Sea Salt (I LOVE sour + salty salad)
Fresh chopped garlic
(the fighter of wintertime sniffy noses!)
Here a few I’ve had lately:
 |
| mix with whatever spices you want, and a little olive oil |
 |
| stir! |
 |
| spread on a cookie sheet & bake at 400 until they're chewy and crispy. maybe even a little burnt! |
Burnt tofu that has been marinated overnight in TJ's Soyaki sauce with goat cheese, little heirloom tomatoes, walnuts, dried cranberries and balsamic vinegar.
And my classic go to - the vinegariest vinegar salad ever. Romaine with lots of white vinegar, 2 pieces of fresh garlic chopped, fresh lemon juice, lots of Parmesan cheese & sea salt. More deets on this guy here Its the Freakin Weekend Baby, I'm About to Have Me Some Fun
Tonight I am going to meet my wonderful Aunt for dinner. She
is in New York visiting me from Toronto. Very exciting!
Later!

ReplyDeleteThose roast chickpeas look amazing. I have never roasted them and now realise I need to! Preferably soon :)
ReplyDeleteThat's all I've been craving too. I can't get enough of veggies right now. That salad looks delicious. I suddenly have a craving for roasted chickpeas.
ReplyDeleteI love salads. My favorite is romaine, goat cheese, nuts, cherries (fresh!) and pecans with balsamic.
ReplyDeleteA salad like that sure would fix everything! Delicious salad beast!
