Well, mostly I love to eat them ... I can certainly pass on the ubiquitous "side salad" of iceberg lettuce chunks, half ripe tomato wedge, maybe a bit of shredded carrot - especially if it's served with (Heaven, forbid!) Thousand Islands dressing.
And I hate to make them ... I hate washing the lettuce and other veggies, cutting everything up into bite-sized pieces, and finding some acceptable bottled salad dressing to add some flavour.
But all that has changed! I have found the perfect salad, easy on the prep, and oh, so good! (So good, in fact, that I built an entire meal around it when we had friends in to lunch.)
There are only three ingredients: lettuce, a pear, and some blue cheese. I make it even simpler by using those small artisan lettuces, four to a package, which require minimal washing, and already-crumbled blue cheese. And the salad dressing is just as easy - 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp vinegar, 1 tsp honey. We have a great oil/vinegar store in Victoria, so I use olive Leccino extra virgin oil and Sicilian Lemon white balsamic vinegar.
Try it. You'll like it!
