Bon Appetito!

Lettuce is like conversation; it must be fresh and crisp,

 so sparkling that you scarcely notice the bitter in it.

~Charles Dudley Warner

 

Summer

 

Salad is the staple in our house

we have some kind of lettuce as a base

and add cold boiled potatoes (yes, I am from Norway) got have them

tomatoes, olives, carrots, onions, fresh herbs loads of garlic, cheese bread etc...you get the idea

what ever is handy

 

Romaine is the lettuce of day

 washed and cut in quarters

 

 croutons

made from any kind of bread

 add a few table spoon olive oil and butter to a the cut bread in a big bowl

salt + pepper

Italian herbs

 swish it around

spread on baking sheet in 375 F oven for 10 min - until golden

 

added artichokes, olives and other Italian goodies

Piled it all up on the lettuce quarter with a ranch dressing

 served with a glass of very chilled Sauvignon Blanc

 

 

 It 's sooo good

 

Yep it's that good

cleaned my plate!!!!

 

 

Fresh cold grapes for dessert

 

Bon Appetito!
