Let’s start off with a given fact. My husband doesn’t think it’s dinner without a big piece of beef on the plate and a loaded baked potato.
So, let’s talk salad. Mixed spring greens (or arugula or whatever you think you can get away with), along with a homemade vinaigrette. I add boiling water beforehand to some raisins and dried cranberries. Dry roast a handful of pine nuts.
Then assemble, last minute. Greens and vinaigrette, nuts and berries, and some goat cheese or feta crumbles on top. Add a good loaf of bread and it’s a meal.
No steak, no baked potato. Dinner is served. Dee
