You obviously know your stuff.
- you learn how important flavour and texture are
- you learn how to maintain balance, even with contrasting flavours
- almost anything can go into a salad, so you can experiment
- it's essentially assembling ingredients, so it's simple and the failure rate is low
- the enjoyment you get from creating a great tasting salad is high
Also, I haven't poisoned anyone since the last time I made raw chicken salad with salmonella sauce. 😀

Originally posted by Ice ColdI buy a lot of ready-to-serve stuff because I am lazy and a bad and unmotivated cook, but I almost always make my salad dressing myself. Making a salad dressing takes almost no time and is simple enough even for me, and the result is usually far better than any bought salad dressings I have tried. It also doesn't contain any strange stuff like preservatives, artificial flavourings or colouring. You should try it.
I go to the store and buy salad dressing. Companies now make the stuff for you.
Amazing times we live in. 😞

Once you've had real home-made blue cheese, vinigarette, etc. you'll have a hard time choking down store bought. Especially the Blue cheese....

You and me chatted when we were members of Cadwah's clan....can you remember what you told me you did for a living ?

Originally posted by Ice ColdFirst, that's not what you told me, second - if you're a butcher, you have nothing to do with making salad dressing.....do you want fries with that ?

You must have me confused with someone who gives a rat's ass anyway.
