My Salad on the Left and "Turkey's" on the right
I also added cottage cheese to mine. |
It seemed like a great night for a dinner salad and I had some great components—Cherry Tomatoes, Hard-Cooked Eggs, Green Onion, Avocado, crumbled bacon, blue cheese and lettuce. I was all set to make it except for 1 thing. My wife, AKA "Turkey", likes her green onions sliced extremely thin, thinner than I am able to slice them apparently, and she likes the tomatoes halved, ever since I tried to poke mine with a fork and shot tomato clear down the other end of the table at a wedding banquet some 40 years ago, which, of course, she remembers to this day! So I asked her if she would slice the onion and the tomatoes, thinking I would continue and do the rest, when I got to the kitchen she had done everything, as shown above! All that was left was each of us putting our salad together and dressing it. I was surprised she wanted to do it, and I think she was a bit surprised too! Here they are, she chose Cilantro Lime Ranch Dressing and I went with Chunky Blue Cheese. My dad loved Roquefort when I was growing up and I learned to love the flavor and my mom taught us to love hard-cooked eggs on our salads. My grandpa loved growing tomatoes and while in Mexico, I lived in the avocado capital where the best avocados I have ever eaten were found, so in this simple meal, much history is revealed and memories jogged.
