Enternal Bliss

On vacation today and was in the mood for something different for breakfast so I made Green Salad with Strawberry Balsamic Vinaigrette. I know it is an odd thing to make for breakfast, but like I said, youe everloving greeneyed chef was in an odd mood this morning.

Ingredients

2 teaspoons strawberry jam
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons evoo
Salt and pepper
1 pint strawberries, sliced
4 to 5 cups chopped romaine or mixed greens of any kind


Place jam in a medium bowl and whisk in vinegar then extra-virgin olive oil. Season the dressing with salt and pepper. Add the strawberries and greens to bowl and toss to coat evenly in dressing.


The Verdict........well, it took like 5 mins to make and it was really good. This was as good as any strawberry salad I have had out an any resturant. Very fresh and healthy. I could see adding some shredded mozzerella to this for some added flawor as well. This would make a wonderful first course for a dinner.

Until tomorrow.........
