101 Simple Salads, #13
i feel perhaps i might be cheating by choosing another salad which contains fruit. but i currently have a refrigerator full of ripe strawberries and tomatoes from my garden so i decided to use what i had on hand. it was delicious and i would have loved to have served this over a bed a spinach leaves and maybe used a balsamic vinaigrette instead of the just the vinegar. next time
i am excited about finding these new ways to include veggies in my diet without it being boring and a constant repetition of the same thing day after day
directions form the article:
13. A red salad: Combine tomato wedges with halved strawberries, basil leaves, shaved Parmesan and balsamic vinegar.
here’s what i used to make a salad for one:
- 2 small tomatoes, sliced
- 6 strawberries, halved
- 3 fresh basil leaves, chopped
- balsamic vinegar – very little, maybe 1/4 tsp
- fresh Parmesan cheese, grated on top – again very little, just a light dusting on top
