    • Mixed Salad: by the husband

      Posted at 4:04 pm by Angel, on October 30, 2018

      While I do most of the cooking in our house, my husband is happy to jump in when necessary, and in fact, enjoys cooking whenever he can. He threw this salad together for me while I am deep into schoolwork in an effort to finish a paper before the kids come home from school. After 27 years of going to school (mostly on, a tiny bit off, and no, I am not joking about the 27 years), I am nearing the final stretch! Woooot!! In the meantime, salad and deadlines.

      INGREDIENTS

      Raw spinach
      Romaine lettuce (just the head, torn into pieces)
      Carrots (rough-chopped)
      Red Bellpepper (sliced into strips)
      White onion (rough-chopped)
      Black raisins
      Pepitas, roasted & salted (pumpkin seeds)
      Red cherry tomatoes
      Hard-boiled egg (rough-chopped)

      DIRECTIONS

      Not a lot of rules here. Use whatever quantity of ingredients look good to you and toss!

      Any dressing will work, but he used an Apple-Cider Vinaigrette (click on link for the recipe). He used Maille-brand Old Style Mustard in place of the Dijon because he knows I think the seeds are purrrdy.)

      Thank you, husband.
