The Man Salad

Posted by E-George on October 20, 2007

Are you always looking for interesting ways to get your man to eat a salad? Has your man been spending the morning doing important man business like tending the yard or reading the internets? Is it lunchtime? Do you see an opportunity to get a leg up in the ongoing battle of Who Does More For The Other Person?

While I have very little difficulty getting my man to eat salads, he nonetheless fit the bill for all those other qualifications. So, I invented, The Man Salad: Baby spinach, julienned cucumber, diced guacamole, diced white onion, diced cubes of mozzarella cheese, diced bacon.

All I had was turkey bacon, so I took the remaining six slices and diced them into little slices down the length. I fried those little slices like I would normally fry bacon. I tossed everything else in a bowl and topped it with a wee mountain of warm bacon (say, < ¼).

Much nummies, with much healthies. Using turkey bacon saves a lot on the fat content, which we then compensate for by using cheese and avocados. This works best if all your veggies are crisp and cold to contrast against the warmer bacon.
