the salad

***

what makes a salad?  the toppings?  nope.  not for me.

it's the dressing. 

since growing our own lettuce, which by the way, is one of the easiest things to grow, i have become quite good at whipping up dressings.

this salad was topped with mushrooms, steak, fresh herbs of dill and thyme, and a wonderful rendition of blue cheese dressing.

to create this i crumbled some gorganzola into a bowl.  added a few spoonfulls of sour cream, a spoon of mayo, a spoon of fresh horseraddish, chopped chives, salt & pepper, juice of a lemon, and a splash or two of milk.

yum.  i want more!
