Salad!

As much as I complain about not being able to eat carbohydrates right now, this restriction has forced me to make more salads, which I really love doing (and eating). Salads are great in the summer, require little preparation, and full of nutrition (if you want it to be).


Contents:

• Mescalin salad greens
• Avocado
• Tomato
• Roasted red peppers
• Pecorino cheese (mine is from the Basilicata region)
  
• Olive oil and balsamic vinegar
• Salt and pepper

It's not an ingenious combination, but it's what I had laying around - and isn't that supposed to be the purpose of a salad anyway? At least, I think it is. Throw whatever you need to use up on top of salad greens and munch away.

It's still raining here in New York, but this salad helped remind me that it is actually summer. I had almost forgotten! At this point I really think I would prefer the 100 degree Houston weather to all of this rain.
