And once again I forgot to take pictures. I DID take a picture of the salad, but not of anything else. Sigh. I've got to get better at this! Suffice it to say tonight's dinner was Greek inspired. We had a Greek chopped salad, Greek pizza, and "Baklava" ice cream. I'll try to recreate the recipes for you (there was also a lot of beer which is why I almost spelled recipes, "recipeas.")
Salad:
Cucumber (English, preferably)
1 lb small golden cherry tomatoes (or grape tomatoes)
1 heirloom tomato (I got a cool green one)
1 plum or roma tomato
1/2 red onion, soaked in ice water for 5 min.
Mix all that together then add: 1/2 block of feta cheese and about the same of goat cheese, if available.
Dressing:
Olive oil
Lemon juice
splash balsamic vinegar
1 garlic clove
1 tsp oregano
I cannot tell you how much olive oil and lemon juice...2 to 1 is the ratio I think, so follow that until it tastes right. Oh, and add salt and pepper!
Pizza: 1 whole wheat pizza crust (or whatever you have)
sauce: tomato sauce (spaghetti sauce is what I use)
toppings: goat cheese, red onion, spinach, artichokes in oil, mushrooms, 1 sliced plum tomato with seeds removed, mozarella
Cook according to crust directions.
Ice cream: Your favorite vanilla ice cream. Toast walnuts in toaster oven or pan until lightly browned. Sprinkle nuts with cinnamon (about 1/2 tsp). Put 2 scoops ice cream in a bowl or cup. Top with toasted walnuts and honey. Everyone will love you and say things like, "I'm never brushing my teeth again!" (Direct quote from Brooke B.)!!!!
