The remainder of this post will feature softcore panty pictures, hardcore food porn, a recipe for the salad we actually made in our underpants on one hot day in south Philly, and some ideas for other kickass green salads.
This salad is awful purdy. here's what we put in it:
*Sprouts (microgreens would have been awesome too)
*Fresh corn, cut off the cob
*Basil!!
*Cute little strips of Gouda made from goat milk (hell yes, this exists and is the best cheese ever!)
* Pinenuts pinenuts
For the dressing we took a little bit of leftover Homemade mayo (yogurt would have done the trick too) and put it in the food processor with a Cucumber, a clove of Garlic, some Dill, a Squirt of lemon juice, Salt and Pepper. So simple and so totally delish.
arugula, spinach, baby beet greens, romaine hearts, BOSTON BIB, BITCH, microgreens, sprouts!! We admit that we even like iceberg lettuce. It's so fucking crunchy, fresh herbs: parsley, dill, chives, basil, cilantro, fennel
toasted or raw: walnuts, pecans, cashews, sunflower seeds, pine nuts, peanuts, MARCONA ALMONDS, sesame sesame sesame seeds
grated beet, grated carrot, fresh corn, tiny little cucumbers, AVOCADO!!, enoki mushrooms, diced apple, orange slices, strawberries, POMEGRANATE seed fruit lumpy awesome things, pears oh pears, red onion
dried cranberries, raisins, apple rings, currants, figs, prunes, cherries, blueberries
For dressings, I sort of just like a nice oil with a nice vinegar for the most part... Our favorite salad oils are olive and walnut, and fav vinegars are sherry, rice, red wine, white and red balsamics... lemon or lime juice can really do the trick too. OH YEA, AND APPLE CIDER VINEGAR!
