salad for ya.

This was really good!
Ingredients:
            2 cloves of garlic sliced
           1/2 green peppy sliced
           1/2 red peppy sliced
           1/2 onion thin slivers
           carrot cut on the di-agg.
           a few kalamata olives
           pinch of oregano, parsley, thyme, savory, salt, pepper....you get where i'm going with this.
           pinch of paprika and cumin
           olive oil for pasta
           grapeseed oil for sauteing
           small pasta
           lemon
           cut up cucumber
           cut up lettuce leaves of your choice

First I got a pot-o-water on the boil. put in the pasta.
Then heated up the grapeseed oil in the skillet (med heat). I browned the garlic, added (good) salt, black pepper, paprika, and cumin. Let that do it's thing in the pan, you may have to add a tablespoon of water, then I added the onion. Let that do it's thing for 2 minutes. Added all the rest of everything.....flipped it around the pan for about 3 minutes.....i like to have crunchy veggies....
turned off the heat and squeezed lemon all over it. Meanwhile the pasta is finishing. Drain, and add some olive oil so the shit don't stick together. Now you take the lettuce you cut up and put it on the bottom of a bowl, then put on the pasta and top with raw cucumbers, and the veggies you saute'd. Crack a little black pepper on top and squeeze some more lemon.
Enjoy!

******ok i made this salad twice and the second time i added a can of tuna, sliced avacado, cilantro, and made some honeymustard.**************************
