So every potluck I make this salad and get so many compliments. I don't want to brag but people go crazy for it.
I come from a great line of salad makers so it's in my blood. I will give respect to where respect is due, Zoe Gale Garnett came to my house when I was in grade eleven and changed my family's salad making life. We were all about just using olive oil and balsamic vinegar as the dressing with just plain romaine lettuce, but Zoe made a version of this salad that we still use today. I have changed many aspects of the original salad but the outline is still there.
Alessandra's Salad Masterpiece (No big deal, but it's really good)
[SIDENOTE: I don't believe in measurements. I'm very haphazard with the whole cooking experience. My friends are actually scared to watch me while I make this salad because everything that I chop I don't use a chopping board, I use my hands. I also like to have the knife face towards me. It's my thing.]
Dressing
Juice and zest of a lemon
Olive oil
Balsamic vinegar
Grated parmesan cheese
Black pepper
Chopped chives
Grated garlic
Honey
Chopped basil
Dried oregano
Mix this all together in a glass and pour over the salad.
Salad
Mescaline mix (salad, not the drug)
Romaine lettuce
Avocados
Mangos
Cucumbers
Red Peppers
Red Onions
Blueberries
Blue cheese on top
Almonds
Mandarin oranges
Now I know it seems like there are just too many flavours in this salad and it seems gross, but it really isn't. It's a magical experience (I don't wanna boast or anything). So make and enjoy!!!
Thanks for reading!
