GRASS

last nights grass? Well lets call it a basic salad !

So my mum and I are pretty determined to start eating healthy... blaaaah ... I know healthy doesn't sound pleasing at all, all i think about is myself munching down on grass -ew- and that's basically what it means right? Wrong.     

Wait whaaaat did you just wrong..how is eating a fresh green salad not just a bunch of grass blades tossed together in a salad bowl. Well i too was surprised to find out that there are ingredients, yes ingredients called, lettuce, cucumbers, peppers, celery, cherry tomatoes just to name a few. i was A shocked that's for sure. So after my whole melt down on how the world had deceived me... my mum appointed me the task of making a tasty salad with the basic ingredients at home. 

 Now the chopping and breaking of the ingredients were not the issue. We did not i repeat DID NOT have salad dressing. Now how on earth were we to eat this? So if you wondering how to get a tasty salad dressing with the basics you have at home here are my ingredients list of what i used to whip up a simple vinaigrette
