A Delicious Combination

I think I'm going to start posting recipes every now and then, either something I discover or "create"... but I will only post if the outcome is pleasant or at least interesting.


For the first one, I'll start simply. Salad. We'll call it......


"ExtaSpicy" Arugula Salad* 
  • Spinach
  • Romaine
  • Arugula (thanks, Leah!)
  • Strawberry circles
  • Chopped avocado
  • Small radish, chopped into thin circles
  • Choice of dressing (vinaigrette is tasty)
The arugula has a very tangy/savory taste to it. The radish is quite spicy. And the strawberries are deliciously sweet. Everything works well together, I think. The avocado lends a slightly odd texture though and made me want to gag at times, but the taste was good. So maybe less avocado? It's the maker's choice. If you try this, let me know what you think (good/bad). This was my first time tasting arugula... Yum!

Ohhhh yum!! I will be trying this soon. Radishes are delightfully cheap and I should use them more often.

Avocados and strawberries are a great salad combination. Especially when covered with creamy poppyseed dressing... oh. :)

I miss balderdash.
