I was too tired to stop at the store on the way home from work, and the kitchen was too hot to cook hot food, anyway.
So I made a great dinner salad with what I had in the fridge.
- Three slices of bacon, fried crisp and drained
- Iceberg lettuce, broken into bite-sized pieces
- Baby salad greens
- Savoy cabbage, shredded
- Cherry tomatoes, quartered
- Sugar snap peas, blanched for 30 seconds in boiling water, drained and halved
- Mozzarella cheese, cubed
- 1 tablespoon light mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon creme fraiche
- Juice of one lime
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped basil
- salt, pepper, pinch of cayenne
Dressing: Mix mayonnaise, creme fraiche, lime juice, sugar, and basil. Add water by 1/2 teaspoon if needed to thin consistency. Season with salt, pepper and cayenne.
Serve
Careful, you're treading into M. McArdle country.
