July 2, 2011

For a vegetarian, I have a strange bias against salads and I don't really eat many vegetables.  I just don't understand the point of a salad:  the lettuce is just crunchy water, the dressing is always too heavy, and none of it really satiates.  As for vegetables, I prefer mine in salsa or guacamole form.  Today, however, I couldn't not eat this salad for lunch.  Please know, this is my third salad-as-a-meal of the year and it was well worth the deviation from the norm.  I ordered the salad for the feta cheese, but the show was stolen by the rest of the ingredients.  It was incredible, just my kind of salad: no lettuce, little dressing, and definitely filling.  It was full of cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, purple onions, hearts of palm, cucumber, and oregano varosh with a roasted tomato sherry vinaigrette.  I'll have to recreate this salad sometime in the very near future.
