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!

  1. Well all I can say is that looks delicious and I will be having the same thing for dinner tonight!
    Cold potatoes huh? My great grandfather was from Ireland [Dewey Dunaway was his name] so
    I think that is were my fondness for potatoes comes from and while I eat a salad every day I never
    once thought to add potatoes to it. You are a dear for inspiring me, thank you.
    Have the best day!

  2. I'm gonna try the potatoes, I love them in any shape or form but never tried them on a salad. I'm crazy hungry right now after this post and it's still morning! Lovely photos :)

  3. I love cold potatoes :) I always used to grab the leftovers in the fridge as a kid and my dad would wonder where they all went. Never thought to add them to a salad, might have to try. Your salad looks delicious. Enjoy your weekend.
