I am beginning to think I should have a “Fast Friday” feature or something for the quick and easy things I make. Here is one that works with so many ingredients that it’s hard to write a recipe for it, so I’ll give you some ideas.
The Basics
Tortilla chips
lettuce
tomato
avacado
More Players
black olives
sour cream
beans (refried, black, or any type you like)
taco meat (chicken, pork, beef)
cheese
salsa
The Fun
Mash up the tortilla chips in the bottom of a bowl.
Add your favorite toppings.
Eat!
Posted in Salads on May 17, 2010
A little over a week ago, we had a play date at a friend’s house. The adults and kids had a good time. I brought this salad over, and after I put it together at home, I had to take its picture.
The colors were vivid, and quite honestly, I think the salad was beautiful. It is simple to make too! A double bonus was that everything but the carrots came from the local farmer’s market.
1/2 head of red leaf lettuce, chopped
1 carrot, quartered and sliced
a handful of radishes, quartered and sliced
A handful of sweet turnips, quartered and sliced
Salad dressing of choice
I put the lettuce in the bowl, followed by the radishes, turnips and carrots. I ate the leftovers for lunch during the week. Often times, I make a salad or a lot of mini-salads on Sunday and then have them for lunch all week long. You can spruce that basic salad up by adding tuna, avocado, or left over chicken.
You don’t know what you are missing if you’ve never had a great salad.
