Celebrating Salad Day!

My salad day sucked.

Tried to have some 'ingenuity in the kitchen' but i guess my inspiration came at the expense of memory.

Let's just say, forgetting to season your vinaigrette (hmmmm, spelling looks weird) is a recipe for disaster. Tried something with avocado, tomatoes, and iceberg lettuce. Didn't have much else. Troubleshooting hints please (apart from 'Season with salt and pepper'.

For 1 person:

Do what you need to do with the salad leaves, chop up the tomato, slice your avocado into rough cubes. Set aside first.

Chop half a clove of garlic up finely. Smear it across your chopping board with the flat of your knife, and salt it. Then smear the bugger again. You should have a paste. Go ahead and dump this into the salad bowl.

Crush up some herbs. I used rosemary, a bit of oregano. Dump this into the salad bowl. Then drizzle about 3 tbsp of olive oil into the mix. Stir it around, let the garlic paste dissolve into it. Add 1 tbsp of red wine vinegar and mix, mix, mix!

SEASON WITH SALT AND PEPPER.

Toss the veggies in, and toss the veggies about.

Garnish with some parmesan cheese if you like.


Eew. Didn't taste too good now, did it?
