Salads are good for us because we get som many different vegetables and stuff into us at the same time, and if we do it right, it's healthy and it tastes good too, which is something the girls have found out long time ago, so this is a Real Man's salad, just to show you how good a healthy dish can be.
Per person
1 egg cooked 8 minutes, per person
1/2 onion any color and sliced through the stem in narrow boats that hang together at the stem (but if they don't, consider it a fly on life's ass - it doesen't matter).
1 slice of bacon per person (or a slice of salami, pepperoni, ham, whatever you have of coldcut leftovers)
nuts, pine nuts or walnuts are best (optional)
spianach/ruccola either/or or both or any other very green sort of lettuce
oilves (optional)
frozen green peas (optional)
Feta cheese (optional)
shredded cheese, Parmesan is best, but any will do
Heat 3-4 tablesppons of oilive oil in a frying pan (be a bit generous, this oil will be used for salad dressing). Fry fist the bacon crispy on both sides and put them on a paper towel, then the onions till they are caramelised (which means turns light brow) and the nuts and fry it all a bit.
While this happens, wash and pour the spinach in a bowl and sprinkle the other vegetables over.
Take the pan away from the heat and check how much oil you have for the salat, if it looks little, add some more and then add some Balsamic vinegar, a little at the time and taste every time after you have stired it together, till you like the taste. Pour it over the spinach and mix well. Garnish with the eggs, crisp bacon and the two kinds of cheeses. You can eat it right away, but it's actually best after about 10 minutes when the dressing has soaked well into the thick spinach leaves.
And if you have this salad on Monday, you will had got so many antioxidants and vitamins in you that you probably can eat junk food on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday....
