I used to really hate salads. there was never any balance to them, too much lettuce or too much dressing to be enjoyable.
But now I don’t. I think salads are a really unique way of cooking bc u kind of just mix a bunch of things together, but if they go together and there’s balance, you can achieve a cohesive flavor that tastes really really good.
Yesterday I made one with cucumber, chickpeas, olives, mixed greens, granola, olive oil, and balsamic, and it one of the best things I’ve ever made.
