My grandmother has an endless talent, she could pick up anything and make it taste incredible. One thanksgiving she was cooking the whole feast, and realized she had run out of a spice she needed. So being a child who came from great poverty, she improvised. She proceeded to walk into her yard and pick dandelions to cook, and it tasted incredible! So I yet again share one of her recipes. It is the essence of simple, its incredibly healthy, AND its cheap.
Ingredients
Baby romaine lettuce ( the ones that are purple and green)
2 onion
two slices of a greenish red tomato
cucumber
olive oil
balsamic vinegar
Italian seasoning
Directions
Peel the cucumber, half it and chop it in slices. Slice a onion in half, width wise, and slice it at an angle, so you get little half moons. Chop the tomato in small cubes. Put on top of lettuce, drizzle with olive oil and the vinegar, don't put too much, you only need a tiny bit. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, mix then season again.
Note: this recipe is all about moderation on the toppings, taste it and determine if you want any more dressing. This is the REAL Italian dressing. Balsamic vinegar and olive have tons of health benefits. If your trying to lose weight or just eat healthier, eat a big bowl of this, with a piece of French bread for lunch and tada , you have carbs to help you through the day, and healthy vegetable to help you get closer to your daily serving.
