This was the culmination of a few things on my last big spending-for-supplies trip. Not just the food, but a really good set of knives to put these ingredients together with less fuss. Again, everyone who didn’t know me very well thought I was going to be dining out every night or starve when Somara and I divorced…another example of HA!
I got hooked on this style of salad through a lesser-known steak chain. It puts together multiple favorites: bleu cheese, bleu cheese dressing and bacon bits. The tomatoes are a bonus. I like to add some extra color and substance. One decent head of lettuce makes four quick servings. It’s hard to believe that the bleu cheese crumbles and bacon bits took some effort to find at my local HEB. I definitely need to scour the HEB south of me on Parmer & I-35, the nicer one on the other side of Pflugerville or go for broke with the one off the tollway, close to Jennifer’s place. I hope to make one for Jennifer, show her how flexible I am with “cooking.”
