Simple vinagrette over salad with little soy cheese chunks
November 7, 2007 by kitchenetta
I came home late from work today, tired, and definitely did not feel like cooking. I decided to throw a big salad together. In addition to several varieties of lettuce, I also included some of my favorite add-ins: things like red peppers, thinly sliced zucchini, kalamata olives, artichoke hearts, grape tomatoes, snap pea pods, and diced up little chunks of SOY MOZZARELLA CHEESE. I tossed in my favorite vinagrette from Molly Katzen, which is super-easy to fix and makes a perfect marriage of all the salad ingredients. I served this with a couple small loaves of freshly warmed ficelle bread from Trader Joe’s, and voila! - an instant morale and energy booster after a tough day at the office! Good food is a wonderful thing. Enjoy this simple, delicious vinagrette recipe!
