I have a pretty huge obsession with barbeque, I mean who wouldn’t? It’s saucy, for one you can change it up however you like, a little sweeter, a bit more of a vinegar bite, or bring on the heat. Plus it’s super versatile. I mean you don’t just have to use it in conjunction with the grill. I have slathered it on grilled cheese, and even baked with it.
This time around I wanted to lighten it up with salad. I love salad, but Chuck isn’t as sold as I am on the stuff, and prefers somethingheartier, so most of the time our salads are pretty loaded down (example 1, 2, & 3) with an abundance of vegetables, cheeses, croutons, and meat sides, remember it’s all about compromise.
I have been making this salad for years, and I’m sure that
it is nothing new to you guys after all, the concept is pretty basic. It’s getting the ratios down that takes time. I think I finally have it; the perfect balance of ingredients.
I personally think it’s so well balanced that dressing isn’t even necessary. There are so many flavorful, creamy components that it would be just overkill. However I know not everyone feels that way, so a light drizzle of olive oil might be in order.
