gotta love the greens
Ever since I was little, going to Village Pizza on Sunday afternoons and ordering a large Greek salad was what got me through the week. The crisp pile of leafy greens, stacked high with layers of feta cheese, tomatoes, and olives, and drenched in the most delicious, special Italian dressing would make my mouth water (and even does now just thinking about it)!
Although it seems kind of silly, I think I could live on salads for the rest of my life. Some of my friends at home think I'm crazy, but there is a true art to building the perfect salad and I've developed my skills over the years by watching my mom.
If there was an award for best salad maker, my mom would win, hands down. Her secret recipe for dressing, combined with an assortment of different vegetables from our own garden and the occasional extra something special, always makes a delicious meal or side dish. Whenever we go to a party at a friend's house, my mom is in charge of bringing salad because everyone knows she's the best too. Thanks to my mom's teaching and influence, I've been able to make some pretty good salads so far at Bryn Mawr, but no matter how hard I try, I don't think I'll ever be able to fully match her talent.
