Big Surprise Here

Another recipe post. I know. Enough. ENOUGH ALREADY.

It's like I think I can cook or something.





I think I posted a similar recipe last summer, but I made this the other day, and I'm posting it again because bleu cheese and granola are a devastatingly evil combination. And by evil I mean good. And by good I mean bad. They're the bad boys of good food.

Like, Sid and Johnny.

Except, you know, with lettuce.


Crunchy Berry Bad Boy Salad

2 1/2 cups fresh strawberries
3 ounces low fat crumbled bleu cheese
1 cup vanilla almond low fat granola
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup raspberry vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
salt
pepper
1 bag salad (whichever blend you prefer)


Slice strawberries thinly.

Combine the oil and vinegar in a large bowl. Add the sugar, salt, and pepper to taste.

Add the strawberries, bleu cheese, and granola.

Add the bag of salad and toss lightly.

Serve with steak off the grill.

And here I thought "big surprise" was: We have a place to live!
Or: No tenants painted rooms wacky colors!
Or: Our vet bill? $0 this month.
Or: Pregnant!

I did not suspect food. But, I like food, so I can accept this surprise.

Hope all is well in the land of sun, sand, and alligators.

Oh...this looks so delicious. I love blue cheese but never thought about eating with granola...hmmmm I think I'll have to try. I never heard back from you about how Zoe is doing...just wondering how she is.

You know what I love about these photos? That the green stuff-- the good stuff-- is completely hogging the spotlight. Usually the steak would take centered stage. I love that you made the salad the star!
