Little Dishes #15
It's time for salad again--the fancy kind that I probably spent too much on but chose not to focus on money for because summer is miserable. Here I have green olive bean salad with chive basil dressing (recipe from Plant Based RD ), cucumbers, tomatoes, crackers, and Bitchin sauce. Basically, what I did to eat the black plate was to spread the sauce on the crackers and top with the cucumber and tomatoes, and I had the salad on the side. This was good! I really enjoyed the salad. It also was easy food prep for packed lunches for the week. I did feel like I was being a little ridiculous buying everything for the salad, but summer will end, I keep telling myself, and I'll want to go back to cheaper casseroles soon enough. (I saw a similar pattern last summer. It's just me in the summer!) The crackers were really, really good. I picked up a brand that I think is new to me because it was on sale. Leaning into summer has been the right move so far.
