My dad's been having salads every day for lunch. I don't know how he does it. I love salads but I can't love it with the homemade dressings that they allow. I went out to dinner for my cousin's birthday on Friday and ordered a green salad. "Yes, I will have the Nice Little Salad, please. Hold the croutons, the cheese and the dressing." What am I left with? Lettuce, cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced cucumbers and radishes. You'd be surprised to know that that wasn't enjoyable. While I refuse to use their dressing, I'm still making it for my dad. Threw an egg yolk, freshly squeezed lemon juice, garlic, pepper, salt and olive oil into my Magic Bullet and bam! Caesar dressing.

A bit waterier and bubblier than you'd want. Eh, I try.
Lunch today was awesome. Yesterday's poorly made chili included an avocado salsa recipe. I didn't bother with it because nothing additonal could really save that pot of mush. Charmaine assured me it was something I should try, so I made it today to go with my salmon steak. Avocado, tomato, onions and, again, freshly squeezed lemon juice. I let it sit in the fridge while my salmon baked in the oven. Each bite of salmon was partnered with a bit of the salsa to give it a warm, cool crunch. I think I'll be making avocado salsa very often after I'm done this Friday.
