A Simple Salad


It is time to fix dinner. It is 100 degrees outside, and not much cooler in the kitchen. All 14 recipes in front of me start with “preheat the oven..” I don’t think so. So, I robbed ingredients from some of those recipes and put this together. No leafy greens, no dressing, just this. Went well with a little white wine.

INGREDIENTS
2    large Roma tomatoes
2    stalks celery
2    spring or green onions
2    ounces sliced mushrooms
1   ounce freshly grated hard cheese; parmesan, asiago, etc.

METHOD
Cut the tomatoes into dice size, ½ inch,  and place into a salad bowl. Sl;ice the celery crosswise at an agle and place into the bowl. Slice the onions and place into the bowl. Cut the mushroom slices into bite-sized pieces if necessary and place into the bowl. Sprinkle the grated cheese over the vegetables, stir and serve.
