Holy Humidity Batman!!! It's HOT!! Dang! So tonight calls for something satisfying, something healthy and nutritious, and above all, tasty! Cue... POWER SALADS!!! Anyone out there have a friend or two who need a little neighborly meal... full of love, comfort, and support? Well, I have a TON of friends like this, and tonight I'm making this super nutritious power salad for one of them! A dear friend who does more for everyone around her than anyone I know! So here's to you... my friend!
Tonight I started with simple mixed greens and romaine lettuce, washed and chopped, about 4 cups will feed about 4 people. Next, I added one cup shredded carrots, one cup edemame (bumping up the protein), cooked and cooled, and 2 pickling cukes washed and sliced into half moons. Now this salad, just like this, would be delicious with the chilli that's going along with it, but I added a little more...
These hard boiled perfectly cooked eggs. Notice any gray, discolored circles around these hard cooked cuties!? HECK NO!! Perfectly rich cooked yellow centers surrounded by some body building protein! Here's how I get them perfect like this, every time!
Place eggs in the pot and cover with cold water... yup, COLD water! Next, put the pan on high heat. When the water comes to a boil (rolling bubbly boiling water) set a timer for 10 minutes. Let the eggs boil in that water for 10 minutes and as soon as the timer goes off, take the eggs out and put them in some cold water to stop the cooking. Perfect!! Every time!!
To go with this super yummy salad, I have a little homemade focaccia! Simple bread, flavored up with some olive oil and fresh herbs and spices! I've made this focaccia a bunch of times.
Just thaw out some store bought bread dough, cover with olive oil and sprinkle on some flavor. In this case we used onion flakes, poppy seeds, sesame seeds, garlic powder, and a little kosher salt! SO GOOD!
Cooking for a friend... always good for the soul, good for your friends, and good for you (or in this case, ME)! Bank yourself some Karma... and cook for someone soon!! Even when it's not cooking, like with this salad, there's something special about the love that goes into a meal for a friend that makes your world a better place!
