Jamie’s Food Revolution: salad making

 

 

I decided to share a bit of the salad lovin section of Jamie’s book.

In the salad chapter he helps you understand and master the key “salad skills.”

He shows you how a salad can evolve very easily from

2 ingredients to twenty and teaches the art of DIY dressings.

I decided to give a go at his everyday green chopped salad recipe.

The mixture includes scallions, cucumber, basil leaves,

avocado, butter-head lettuce, alfalfa and (optional) cheddar cheese. 

 

 Chop everything up really small and then tackle the dressing.

Jamie makes a well in his salad and mixes the dressing right in

the middle of it…

I wasn’t about to do that on my first try….

I was concerned there would be to much dressing.  

 I opted for the safer route and mixed it in a jar )

 

To be honest, I’m not use to simple homemade dressings.

I need to  learn to enjoy

this style, because I know it’s a lot healthier.

Dressing Info:

6 T evoo, 2 T red wine vinegar, 1 t. English mustard

a pinch of salt and pepper.

Next time I’m going to sub sherry vinegar and

add a small clove of chopped garlic.

I think I might like it a bit more.

Give it a good shake or stir and pour over your fresh greens!! Yum!!
