Ravings of a Textual Deviant

Enough complaining about life, the universe, and everything. I wish I could remember where I found this recipe, but I suppose the important thing is that I did find it.

Open one bag of your favorite prepped salad greens. Add dried cranberries, toasted almonds or pecans, and crumbled blue cheese. Dress lightly with balsamic vinegar.

There you go–five ingredients including the dressing, and all you have to do is open packages. Much, much easier than pie. Even easier than my former favorite salad, as you can see…

Open one bag of your favorite prepped salad greens. Add fresh blueberries, thinly sliced green onions, hazelnuts or almonds. Drain one small can of mandarin orange slices, reserving the juice. Add the orange slices to the salad. Add some rice vinegar, salt, pepper, and whatever herbs are handy to the reserved orange juice and shake well, then drizzle over salad. For a main dish, I like to add cold cooked shrimp or chicken. (I prefer shrimp.)
