salad

I love salads. I've grown adept at throwing together really good ones very quickly for dinner. These two are especially amazing, I think.

arugula salad
arugula or mache
sunflower seeds
avocado
blue cheese
roasted/salted almonds
dried sour cherries

splash of balsamic vinegar, hazelnut oil

kale salad
finely sliced raw kale, preferably purple kale
3T dried blueberries
3T balsamic vinegar
1T rice vinegar
1T honey
1t salt
1/2C. grated parmesan
1T olive oil
roasted, sliced almonds

macerate berries with vinegar an hour or so in advance. in a large bowl, mix vinegars, oil, honey and salt; add to kale with berries and let sit 20min. add parmesan and nuts.  avocado is also a good addition, or chickpeas.
