I
originally started this intending to do a blog titled "My Three
Salads." I stumbled on this topic in my ideas queue a few days ago, when
I realized that...I haven't exactly been consistent with My
Three Salads lately. Or with eating any salads...at all.
Here's
the thing: I love salads. I love vegetables. I will pick vegetables
over fruits most the time. For me, my wrench is stuck firmly
in my creative wheel. Anytime I make a recipe,
it's usually a
little time consuming. When I cook, it tends to be more road trip, less Sunday drive. Cooking for me is not just about "eating." It's
conception. It's organization. Experience. It helps shape my
cooking "voice", but it isn't exactly harmonious
since I find myself eating plain or unhealthy things when I don't
cook/have leftovers.
One
promise I made to myself when 2013 drew near, was to make myself at
least 3 salads for work every week. And I executed it quite well, to my
surprise. And it usually went something like this:
This is a 50/50 Lettuce mix, with some Baby Spinach. I also chopped up some carrots and cucmbers.
Then I shove into some tupperware, and put salt, pepper and green onions on top. Other mainstays included: grape tomatoes, broccoli, and walnuts.
I haven't made a single salad in almost a month. I'm bored. That ain't cool.
Can you see I need help? I beg of you, fellow food hobbyists, help me be uncomplicated. Asking for help is hard!
Almost
nothing is off the table. My goal is to get a few ingredients that I
can prep into 3-5 salads in around 10 minutes or less. Quick recipes are
welcome too. But be warned that I don't prefer to use any cream-of/canned
tomato
paste/powdered seasoning packet anythings. Broths, spices, frozen
veggies (at least), rice, pastas, chicken are all things I normally have on hand at
all times.
Save me from my unharmonized ways. Help me back to Salad Zen.
