All you Need is Lettuce

My good friend Beth said that she was speaking to her friend about the "regular" meals that they make for their family. Beth told this friend about my Big Salad meal which makes an appears usually once a week or whenever we have some lettuce.

Bailey's Bottle)

Big Salad is a name for a meal that I stole from Seinfeld many years ago. The episode I'm referring to is the one where Elaine asks George to buy her a Big Salad when he goes to Monk's (the cafe where they always eat). Well George has his girlfriend with her when he buys the salad. George pays for the salad and him and the gf go to Elaine's and the gf is the one that gives the salad to Elaine. Well Elaine thanks the gf not George even though she asked George and George pays for it. So the majority of the episode is how George is pissed at Elaine for not thanking him and he is pissed at his gf because she took his credit for getting and paying for the salad. Love this episode.

 So my Big Salad is really any veggies with lettuce. I normally make it when I forget to take meat out of the freezer and I know that I have lettuce. Very often my Big Salad is whatever is left over in the frig that is getting ready to be thrown away. It is normally something like the chicken that has been in there for a few days from the BBQ that we had over the weekend, or the celery that is starting to go limp in the veggie drawer, or I see that spot on the pepper where it is going soft, I just cut it off and use the rest of it. Yup that's how we roll in this house. If it looks bad, cut it off, if you fall and hurt yourself, walk it off...

The highlight of Big Salad if there is enough time to boil an egg in there. Love hard boiled eggs in my salad and of course I make my own Caesar salad dressing. As much as I would love the drown the whole thing in ranch; ranch isn't the healthiest dressing. But don't kid yourself, if there is none made I do go for the ranch.

I'm thinking about starting a recipe link on the side bar or at least post the recipes here then link. Big Salad will probably not be one of them because honestly, it is only leftovers, veggies, and lettuce. And really, you only need the lettuce.
