Hello, friends! This week over on Mason-Dixon Knitting—an abiding source of joy for knitters and lovers of fashion everywhere—I give the answer to one of my most-solicited pieces of advice: What should I have for lunch?
The answer is salad, and that's because it's delicious, it's flexible, it's do-ahead-able and it doesn't need to be cooked. It's also—this is key!!!—a great platform for olive oil.
Yes, I mention olive oil multiple times in the piece, but it bears repeating: Good olive oil is life-changing magic in a bottle. I was not devoted to salad until I watched my friend Havi Brooks pour (operative word is NOT "drizzle") it on with abandon. It's good to have friends that make salad that you can make friends with. Someone should tell Homer.
(NB: This is not a salad to make you skinny. But it's not chicken-fried steak and a sopapilla, either.)
If you find yourself stuck for lunch, head over to Mason-Dixon Knitting for a delicious, healthy, filling salad framework you can use to save (approximately) 1,000,000 hours of valuable time every week. It'll save you a ton of money as well.
Right then; that's the week! And if you have salad suggestions, pop them into the comments for everyone. Mwah!
