SIMPLE DRESSING

Extra-virgin olive oil

High-quality vinegar (Mom especially likes raspberry vinegar)

Mix three parts oil to one part vinegar to taste. Flavored oils, such as lemon or garlic, can add a nice twist to the dressing. If you’re feeling adventurous, try adding a dash of orange juice, a tablespoon of mustard, a teaspoon of shaved fresh ginger, or even a little white wine.

OCCASIONALLY ONE MUST serve food to a herbivore. They’re so weird. Nothing could induce me to eat this salad, although Pewter will pick out the bacon and cheese. Humans like it fine, as do rabbits. I knew a turtle once who ate a salad but he also ate a chicken’s foot. It’s probably not a good idea to dwell on his gastronomic feats.
