I just had a really gorgeous salad for lunch and right now, I’m regretting not catching a snapshot of it. Anyway, I did a bit of research and learned that Danish blue cheese is best in salads. I decided that I don’t quite like it on slices of baguette and would much rather have a whole wheel of double brie, so I decided to test that theory, despite craving pasta. Ok, I admit, I was just too lazy to make pasta.
The line-up of players:
Iceberg lettuce leaves (cut them lady-like or suitable for cow-grazing, whatever strikes your fancy)
Tomato (slice & remove seeds)
Can of tuna (olive oil/spring water)
Olive oil (unless your tuna was already drowning in it)
Canned vegetables that you fancy (corn, beetroot, etc – drained)
Mayonaise (any variant, but Japanese mayo is finger-licking good)
Any herbs lying about (basil, parsley, etc – I hate cilantro/coriander)
Sea salt (ok, any salt)
Pepper
Blue cheese, crumbled
Hard boiled egg, sliced
Green apple, cubed (stop peeling it; it’s fibre!)
Nuts (I didn’t think of it earlier but walnuts or almonds might would have been great)
Now. The difficult part. No, actually, I think it’s secretly quite fun and you can use your *shudder* hands if you wish. Grab a large bowl. And… TOSS!! 
That is all.
Oh right, eat it. All of it. Not that you needed prompting!
Salads are so bloody easy to make that I think it’s instinctive! Of course, it helps if someone gives tiny nudges in the right direction, like ‘Danish blue = great in salads’. I didn’t state quantities because you really should decide how much you’d like to feed yourself with. Confession: I would like to indulge in chocolates a little later so I thought I should make up for it with salad… that had Japanese full-fat unbelievably delicious mayo… Actually, forget that. I might just start indulging now. Hey, studying makes people hungry!
À bientôt et bon appétit!
