when i was growing up i was not the biggest salad fan. not that i disliked vegetables in general, but salad dressings were never very good and salad, for the most part, felt pretty darn boring. i always ate it dry, most often as finger food. (i was as fine with that as a kid could be ;)
and THEN....my mom made a dressing from three ingredients, and three ingredients only.
olive oil
soy sauce (or tamari)
garlic
that was it. about a half/half liquid ratio, and as much garlic as you can or can’t stand. (it stays separated so it needs to be mixed with a spoon and scooped out to get some of everything. we keep a stocked tupperware container on hand.) and suddenly i was eating as much salad as was humanly possible. oh my god. sometimes we crave brownies. sometimes we crave soy sauce and garlic. i have no trouble attempting to satiate the latter.
i made the dressing for Will recently and we both have turned into raging salad monsters. plus i have realized that the dressing is good to put on all sorts of other things, like, well, pretty much any other savory thing i may be eating at the time.
fried/scrambled eggs? YES.
pasta of any kind? YES.
stir fry of any kind? YES.
grain dish of any kind? YES.
try it! grow list, grow! :)
