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

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):D

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.:rolleyes:

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.

2 large tomatoes diced
Sea salt bagel chips

When ready layer ingredients. Mayo mixture, lettuce, tomatoes and bacon. Serve with chips.

The bunco girls loved it.

I've heard of balsamic and strawberries together before but I've never tried it. What do you guys mean "cooked down"? I've got a whole bunch of strawberries right now and I'm definitely in the mood to cook! :)

I love Sea Salt Bagel chips, I get then at Trader Joes and just hoard them.:rolleyes: I also really love bacon:cool: I need to add that to my sig.:D

As far as the basalmic, basically reduce in size. Cook slowly over low heat, no lid. If you started with a half cup, cook to a quarter cup, or until you like it, no said rules for cooking as far as I'm concerned:)

Kind of the same you would do with broths, reduce them down and they get more intense and have a lot more flavor.

They also have white basalmic if your concerned about the color on something.

Ooo. I always wondered about the white balsamic. I might have to try that. :)

Our major food store here in town stocks all the different seal salts from all over the world, of course, varying in price. Some of the most expensive comes from South Africa and is dark in colour. I just started trying them and I really enjoy the different flavours. My regular sea salt has a lemony flavour.

I switched to sea salt over a year ago and I think it has helped my health a good bit.
I am on my quest to find my favorite.
I over salt everything.

I use a lot of sea salt and Kosher salt for cooking, but I still use regular salt on my eggs or tomatoes.:)
