salad.

So yesterday we made a few salads. Not your ordinary salad though. They came out pretty good.

                                                   This salad above is: Salade Nicoise
It has a lot going on, but is a good salad for you. on top of the lettuce is sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, potatoes, boiled egg. I seared some tuna and layed anchovies on top. Then drizzled it with a Garlic Vinaigrette i hade made.
                                          
                                                This next one is called: Salade d' Epinards
It is a spinach salad that i tossed with a mustard vinaigrette. sprinkled with croutons (i made) and lardons (crisped salt pork strips) topped with a poached egg and there are also some fried chicken livers on top too. Very interesting salad but im not going to knock it because it is actually good.
This salad was my favorit: Panzanella
All it basically is, is cubes of bread toasted (like making big croutons) with Red chili peppers, salt and pepper sprinkled on top. Also, chopped cherry tomatoes, red onion, all tossed in a basic vinaigrette with basil. Very Good!! Seems great to serve in the summer time hosting a lil dinner party in your backyard...like Giada =] lol


you know, life is like a salad. There are so many different componants to add to a salad that makes a salad.It could be simple like the Panzanella or Caesar. Or could have many different things added like the Salade Nicoise. I feel like right now my life is similar to the Salade Nicoise. So many different things, people, personalities, trials, knowledge is just being thrown into my life. im the lettuce and everything else is the garnish. but thats what is making me to be the best, and the more things added to this salad bowl of mine, the more different i become. i become wiser, stronger, patient, loving, and more.

thats whats making MY salad.............Tasty.  

Deuce.
