This might be a rant, OK it is a rant. It doesn't take much to make a perfect salad for me these days. I'll admit that I used to love salads with apples and dried cranberries. I've given up the fruit (too many carbs) for hard boiled eggs so I can eat my salad and get some protein.
So my perfect simple green salad now consists of:
organic mixed greens
crumbled goat cheese
almonds
hard boiled egg
balsamic vinaigrette
I could easily make this at home and bring it to work for lunch, but I'll admit that I do not always have myself together enough in the morning to even throw a salad together (I know, I know, it's just salad, but at least I get myself showered and clothed, right?). I digress. Anyway, I recently found the perfect salad at a cafe near my work. Perfect! I've been getting this salad nearly every day this week and I'm in heaven. What I love about this salad is that they make the balsamic vinaigrette themselves and it has just the right amount of mustard in it.
Today, however, I was sorely disappointed. I grabbed my salad to go and came back to the office to find a lemon vinaigrette where my balsamic was supposed to be. Did I mention how much I like balsamic vinegar? Anyway, I am not a happy camper. This leaves me with no other alternative than to get myself together in the morning and take my simple salad recipe and simply make myself a salad for lunch tomorrow. Seriously, I can't find the time to put together a simple salad for myself? Time to rethink my priorities.
