walton_eatsIn my Planet Organics box this week I got some exquisite baby romaine and some really nice mesclun mix, some gorgeous green onion, some red onion, and a big and beautiful red bell pepper. So dinner tonight was a salad made with the following:
Cold leftover chicken breast, chopped
Hass avocado, sliced (so cheap and so plentiful lately!)
Tomatoes from my garden, peeled and chopped (this part of the harvest seems to be producing tomatoes with tougher skins)
English cucumber, sliced
Green onion, minced
Red bell pepper, chopped
Red onion, finely chpped
Mesclun mix
Baby romaine, chopped
Candied pecans, whole (from Trader Joe's - *so* good)
Fuji apple, chopped
Hard boiled eggs, chopped
Roasted asparagus, laid on top of each serving
Homemade croutons (ciabatta, cubed and toasted with garlic-infused olive oil)
Homemade 1000 Island dressing (mayo, chili sauce, a bit of sweet pickle relish, minced sweet onion, a bit of salt)
All it really needed was a bit of bacon, but I was woefully short of that commodity tonight. Must remedy that situation.
Served with garlic bread left over from the lasagna feed the other night, and a bottle of Bonny Doon Pacific Dry Riesling. I made a ton (I can't seem to *do* less than six servings of *anything*) and it was just Tim and Danny and myself, but the boys wolfed down two helpings and there isn't a smidgen left.
