It’s no secret that a rockin’ food pyramid includes some serious salad action. And when I say salad, I mean the big, bulky, butt-kickin’ kind . . . the kind just overflowing with flavorful fresh goodness. When I make a salad, I’m making a treasure hunt for the fork: a edible voyage packed with new awesome bits of yummy, propelling my feeding inertia as I chomp through the veggie pile. Yeah, I’m pretty much obsessed with salads.
Why so much salad love? Well, of course, veggie salads are good for you . . . blah blah blah. You know that. But! The other great part about salads is they’re really easy. REALLY easy. You can’t burn a salad, you don’t have to dust off every pot in the kitchen — all you need is 5 minutes and a knife, and you’ve got a masterpiece. Inventor of salad, you are a genius!
A winning combo which features classic Asian flavors is my recipe for a Chinese Chop Salad. A simple, flavorful, gingerey dressing rounds out the crisp vegetables and crunchy nuts. Forget your idea of an appetizer, this salad is nothing short of a meal. Protein, greens, antioxidants, yum factor, and overall bigness – that’s basically the food pyramid, right?

Oh, and as for those pathetic little restaurant salads with their flavorless lettuce and mysteriously pale tomato wedge . . . please.

I want that salad, in that house. because your house looks like it has nice light, good windows which really helps to embrace the moment of such a healthy salad.
Yes – nice light is a non-negotiable for me!
