So, I'm turning into an "older" woman. I'm getting some strong opinions about things. About salads. I have finally figured out why I LOVE LOVE some salads and hate others. Its okay if you stop reading here. Another thing I'm learning about myself is I'm kind of boring. Anyway, back to the KEY to salad. I need a warm ingredient to offset the cool ones. There you have it. I hate all-cold salads. I am in love with beet salad. Yeah, that's right. I had one last night and it was TDF. I love it because the beet comes out of the oven (after roasting for 80 minutes) really hot which wilts and warms the greens and goat cheese (now I know it is called Chevre and I really like it). Maybe that is why the taco salad at the Cougar Eat was so yummy. I think it had some warmth. Oh yeah, and all that ranch...MMmm good times. The picture up top is not my salad last night and was made with yellow beets which are just as yummy! If your only beet eperience is with canned beets you must give them another shot. Anyway, I better get going. Meeting Lysa at Costa Vida for what else? A mango chicken salad (warm chicken). I'll try to get a life before I post again!
