The Salad

November 8th, 2008

Another nasty day here in NYC. Matthew started the day cracking jokes about being back in Vancouver. I don’t really know what he was talking about though, cause every time I’m there its all sunny and beautiful. 

So we aren’t leaving the house today. We’re cleaning out the office. The place becomes a dumping ground when we’re busy, and weeks of being away have made it unbearable. 

I decided that we needed to make something simple and delicious for dinner since we’ll be in no mood to cook.

Enter: The Salad

First seen at Pizza night at Theresa’s. We devoured it.

The Salad is awesome. Its hearty enough to be a dinner salad while still being relatively lowfat and vegetarian. You can follow Martha’s recipe or just do the following

Cut up 2-3 beets (peel first, and make pieces thin/small)
2 carrots
1-2 red onions
toss with olive oil, salt and pepper.
Roast until soft
Cut up 1-2 heads of butter lettuce
Place roasted veggies on top
sprinkle with goat cheese
dress with balsamic and oil and salt and pepper to taste

We are planning on serving it as the first course for Thanksgiving. We have a few extra seats so let me know!
