Her Most Favourite, Favourite Salad Ever, Ever, Ever!
I could have salad every night –- not the same salad, of course. But I love the idea of salad: crunchy, fresh, versatile... a party in a bowl. And the idea of being able to prep all or most of it in advance and then coming home, ready to eat in 5-10 minutes is perfect. I’m, uh, not the most patient person when it comes to food and hunger. People have accused me of a certain similarity to The Incredible Hulk, just smaller, Asian and without the purple wardrobe.
Enter Pioneer Woman (PW) and the Pioneer Woman’s Most Favorite Salad Ever. Ever, Ever, Ever!
I adore this recipe. This [cook]book has context. It’s rooted with a point of view (vegetarian city girl follows her heart to Oklahoma; culinary mash-up ensues) and a real life pantry and kitchen. There is no microfoaming [editor's note: micro what?], home butchering or epic set of instructions. This is simple, homey food -- beautifully and elegantly prepared.
