Well, I just wrote up a great and easy recipe and then tried to correct something in the preview and it disappeared.

So now a simple salad...
In order on the plates on top of each other
Thin slices tomatoes
Thin sliced sweet onions
Thin sliced Avacado
REAL Italian cheese grated (just sprinkled over the top)
Drizzle a mustard herb viniagrette over the top of that.
(basically basalmic, olive oil, dijon and what ever herbs you like)

This is much requested at my home, but I don't always have the time to slice everything up. (sometimes they just get it all in a bowl)

I think everyone at my home thinks I am here to make them food and don't understand that I have other things to do.

The recipe that got away from me will be posted later, it is really good and easy.

Hope my spelling is OK, I've misplaced my spell check, it might be under the bed.

Hi, dahly, love balsamic, some is aged like wine and quite expensive, I like it so much have gone into researching after seeing an episode of 'the thirsty traveller'. Lovely additive to a lot of things, and cooked down for strawberries is great too.
