FRESH VEG FOR THE NEW SEASON

Eat your vegetables!
Ingredients:
Arugula
Roma Tomatoes
Red Onion
Mushrooms
Carrots
Feta Cheese
Lemon
Olive Oil
Balsamic
Salt & Pepper
Very simple salad for the weak who need some greens.
Get out your largest salad bowl and start finely slicing your mushrooms. Place in bowl and add a good amount of oil and balsamic so they can marinade and soften a bit. Thinly peel carrots and slice Roma's, taking out the heart (sorry). Next, the red onion, however you like it sliced, chopped or diced. Now for the Arugula- stems and all, just make sure you give it a good 3 minute soak to soften. Mix well with your fingers but make sure you wash your hands... trust me, no kind of flatware, spatula, or special salad tongs mixes a salad properly than your fingers.
Your salad should look and feel really dressed just from the mushroom marinade. Drizzle a half of a lemon, salt and pepper and add as much feta cheese as you would like. Mix again!
This salad was enjoyed with T-bone steaks, salmon, pasta salad and my famous fried onion rings. Hello, October feast.
