January 27: All Heart


As moving day approaches, my fridge is getting pretty low on fresh veggies. But, as luck would have it, people have invented some pretty nifty ways to preserve foods. Today I used food from packets, cans and jars, and still ended up with a salad that was fresh and satisfying, not to mention just plain delicious!.

After I made it, I thought that I should have saved this one for a couple of weeks and made it a Valentine's Day salad. But as I had already eaten half of it, it was a bit late.

Recipe:
Tear red leaf lettuce into bite-size pieces and toss with sliced hearts of palm and marinated artichoke hearts, crumbled soft goat cheese, dried cranberries, roasted cashews,and a creamy dressing.

Dressing: Whisk some of the brine from the artichokes into your favourite mayonnaise, adding a smidgen of sugar.
