I’m definitely not a salad person, eating them at restaurants has exposed me to 3 things which don’t help my aversion, you can get them smothered in cheese (usually parmesan, gorgonzola or feta), smothered in weird and bland or extremely rich dressings, or perhaps get neither, the most boring pile of green anyone has seen. I’m talking about salads found at some of the usual places people go to for lunch breaks. End of rant.
Anyways, yeah, so not so much into salads… although not entirely true, I love the russian potato salad my grandma used to make and my mom still makes during christmas time and seafood salads are the best. Lately, work life has taken over everything and overtime catered food sucks, so I’ve been craving simpler food, light and fresh, tasty and clean. Anyways, here’s a quick recipe for a spinach salad, I’m sure there are tons of recipes like this, nothing here will make cuisine history, but I just grabbed a few things at the store and made this about 10 minutes and really loved it so documented it:
