Last night I had 10 minutes to whip up a salad. I looked in the fridge and the pantry to see what was available and here's what I found:
1 clementine (of course one of my favorite citrus fruits)
12 large black olives
2 small romaine lettuce hearts
1/2 jar of artichoke hearts (quartered)
1 small block of parmigiano reggiano
some frozen edamame (1/2 cup thawed)
4 salt and pepper bagel chips
extra virgin Greek olive oil
aged balsamic vinegar
I chopped, washed, and drained the lettuce (it makes more sense to wash the lettuce after it's been chopped), quartered the black olives, added the artichoke hearts, grated about 1/2 parmigiano reggiano, peeled and cut the clementine in half and then separated the segments, crushed the bagel chips and then put everything in a large bowl. I added the edamame last. Tossed everything together and drizzled with 2 teaspoons of olive oil and 2 teaspoons of aged balsamic vinegar. Toss again.
It was delicious! The sweetness of the clementine mixed with the mildly tangy artichoke hearts, salty parmigiano and olives, and crisp fresh crunch of the lettuce and edamame was great! I will make this salad again.
Please feel free to play with the amount of dressing you want.
