Whatcha need: EVERYTHING.
2 chopped collard leaves, red bell pepper, zucchini, carrot, mushroom, avocado, raw sunflower seeds, onion, yr roommate's stuffed olives (this might have made it - along with the nooch), lemon juice, Braggs, nutritional yeast, red pepper flakes.
I don't even know how I fit this stuff in my stomach sometimes.
Is there anything you always must have on a salad? I think for me it's carrots. They're always around, they're cheap, they add a nice crunch, and they are a nice bit of sweetness in contrast to the usually more savory ingredients and dressing. Obviously everything is BETTER with avocado but a salad just doesn't feel right without carrots for me.
Yea, that's all for tonight. Nothing left to see here. Move along.
I think you're right about the olives and nooch. And probably the red pepper flakes too. Pizza tasting salad is kind of a dream come true for me. I'm getting ready for dinner right now and I'm thinking salad, but I also have a giant shepherd's pie in the oven that might be too much to resist. For me, must-haves are avo and nooch. And if I have any kraut in the house no salad will be without it.
ReplyDeleteYes, definitely on the red pepper flakes. Unfortunately no kraut here though! I would opt for the shepherd's pie if I had that around too.
DeleteOh man a salad that tastes like pizza sounds pretty perfect. Wouldn't that be a great way to solve all of the crappy diet related health problems? I am with you, I need carrots in my salad. I also very much prefer my salads to have sun dried tomatoes in them. Avocado is always a nice bonus ;)
ReplyDeleteHope your elbow is doing a bit better!
Haha yea, if only we could work that into school food programs. I'm pretty sure I've seen salad pizza but never pizza salad.
DeleteSun dried tomatoes are so great; I really ought to buy them more often! They definitely would have added to the pizzaness.
The elbow is...slowly improving, I think? Although I started crying at work haha and may have said the words "I just want my mom."
A pizza salad sounds awesome! I almost always have raw sunflower seeds in my salads. I love the taste and crunch of them, although I have to agree with you about carrots, too.
ReplyDeleteI hope your elbow is feeling better. Ouch! :(
Raw sunflower seeds are so healthy and great! They're good for crunch too, along with the carrots.
DeletePizza salad? I'm all over that. And I'm pretty hardcore about having avos on my salad, and if there isn't any avos, then tofu. Sometimes both. I like me some hearty goodness! Oooh, and purple cabbage makes a nice pretty addition.
ReplyDeleteTofu, yes. Something soft in the mouth. Ha. I had no protein besides the sunflower seeds in the haus, tho. Sad. Purple cabbage! I gotta get on that.
DeleteYour salad seems to have everything but pumpkin seeds. Everything needs pumpkin seeds in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteOoh! Nice one. It's been too long.
DeleteSounds good to me! I agree that a salad must have carrots in order to truly be a salad. Yep.
ReplyDeleteRight? Let's not kid ourselves here.
DeleteGreat job heisting your roommate's Stuffed Olives. The key is to only take enough so there's no noticeable difference in the amount left in the jar.
ReplyDeleteMoving along now
You inspired me when you blatantly told me to steal their food. I only took a couple, then I wanted to make a martini.
DeleteCarrots definitely make an appearance on lots of my salads--but only if they're shredded. Big chunks of carrot don't do it for me. :) And salad in pizza form? OKAY.
ReplyDeleteI think this needs to be filed under life's survival guide. Hello, yes, salad pizza = the best!!
