We went out to breakfast today, and Eric and I each ate a huge plate of SOMETHING NO ONE SHOULD EVER EAT - mine included cheese, bacon, sour cream, potatoes, and 2 fried eggs with runny yolks.
It was absolutely delicious.
I spent the day mentally running through the signs of stroke and cardiac arrest.
So for dinner, we had a really pretty salad.
Microwave a huge sweet potato for about 8 minutes. It should be cooked but not totally cooked.
dice a red bell pepper.
peel a carrot, discard the peels and then keep peeling, so you end up with wide, translucent ribbons of carrot.
Once the microwave dings, leave the sweet potato alone for a while. Then, holding it with an oven mitt, slice the peel off and carefully dice the sweet potato. Throw all those veggies in a bowl.
Make a vinagrette. Mine contained apple cider vinegar, olive oil, orange juice, salt, pepper, sugar, and a squirt of Dijon mustard.
Pour the vinegrette over the red and orange veggies in the bowl; add the green parts of 2 spring onions, clipped small. Let this sit for 5-10 minutes.
Open a can of chick peas and rinse and drain them.
Using dinner plates, plate some butter lettuce (mine was a Salad Express bagged mix, and it was really good!) Add a large portion of chick peas, and a couple serving-spoon-fuls of the red and orange mixture. Serve.
It's gorgeous, and a great mix of textures and tastes, plus it's a really balanced meal because of the chick peas.
