Basic Green Salad

If all else fails, Salad.  I eat this when I feel I haven't eaten anything but junk all day.  This generally makes me feel better about myself.  I don't think a recipe is really necessary, but I will supply one anyway.  It entertains me.

General overview:
Salad with garlic bread and fruit of season.

Ingredients:
6 cups Romaine Lettuce
1/2 cup fresh tomato, cubed
1 large carrot
Ranch dressing to taste
2 boiled eggs

Directions:
1. Soak lettuce in chilled water to add crunch.
2. Boil water, add eggs, remove after 10 minutes.
3. Snip lettuce with cooking shears into bite sized pieces
4. Use a potato peeler to peel the carrot into thin slices.
5. Mix carrot and lettuce, adding ranch to taste.
6. Peel boiled eggs, dice.
7. Divide lettuce/carrot onto two plates, add tomato equally. 
8. Add one egg to each salad.
9. Garnish with fruit of season and garlic bread to complete the meal.

This can also be made with any protein you might like to add.  Here's another example of the same thing with lemon pepper chicken.

Serves:
2 adults

Time to table:
15 minutes
