Strawberry Feta Mixed Lettuce Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette
Because if it doesn't list every
ingredient in the title, it's not fancy enough to bother.
I'm not sure how to start a blog in which I'll relentlessly share
as much of my life as I possibly can with you.
So here's a salad that I grew and made. Strawberry Feta Mixed
Lettuce Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette. First lettuce harvest right
there. I also grew a strawberry or two - but I ate those plain so as not to
sully their magical not-grocery-store flavor with anything that might not taste
like a strawberry.
When I say "first lettuce harvest," it's really a
misnomer, this is something like my 18th lettuce harvest (I probably didn't
help the first couple years...), but the first at my apartment. I've been growing
lettuce since before you were born! Assuming you're less than 18.
My sisters and I grew up doing traditional "lady things"
like cooking, sewing, gardening, crocheting and all the other things that have
suddenly become trendy. So we'll take advantage of our current state of
never-before-seen-stylishness by over-sharing!

Arrange lettuce on plate or deposit in a serving bowl. Prepare
strawberries and add to plate or place in separate bowl. Crumble feta and add
to strawberries and lettuce or another minuscule bowl. Really, the goal here
is to get as many bowls dirty as possible. To achieve this, add vinegar,
oil, and salt and pepper to another tiny bowl and stir with an available
utensil until they oil droplets are pretty small. Douse the salad in this
mixture. If you were using lots of tiny bowls for your ingredients, place them
on a slab of barnwood covered in artfully arranged doilies and transport them
to your eating area. I hope you can figure out where to go from here.
Oddly, Tastes Kinda Good
