Well Mother Nature was apparently just teasing us about the arrival of spring. The few sunny days we’ve lately enjoyed have been bullied away by the persistent cold and rain. While the rainfall this season has provided great relief from the previously dry winters, I’ve also missed my friend, the Sun. I think this is why I have been craving a light, fresh, simple meal lately.
There’s nothing unique at all about this salad–it’s classic in its simplicity. All it requires is the use of fresh ingredients. I’ll warn you, though, that I’ve never been very good at measuring ingredients–I eyeball everything, tasting and adding as I go. One of the reasons I started this blog was to cure myself of this shortcoming but, well, I’m not quite there yet.
