It was my intention to grill a small prime rib for dinner last night. The roast had been pre-salted the day before and left to air dry in the fridge most of Sunday. BUT, neither of us felt like a big dinner last night so I made Moe a salad.
Just a simple salad made with what I had on hand.
Hard boiled eggs,
leaf lettuce, tomatoes
and green pepper,
topped with a dressing made with Hellmans and heavy cream, minced garlic, a little rice wine vinegar, salt and lots of fresh ground pepper.
I know that this doesn’t sound too exciting, especially for a Father’s Day dinner, but Moe was thrilled. As I’ve mentioned before, he loves salads, but because I don’t, he doesn’t get many of them.
I hate to make promises I can’t keep, but I’m going to try and make him a salad at least a couple of times a week. ‘Try’ being the operative word.

Sometimes a salad is exactly what I want for dinner. I should eat more of them to tell the truth. I can understand why Moe was happy with this meal.
Ann, I actually really enjoy salads but rarely get around to making them. I think part of it is my children don't like them and I don't love salads enough to make them anyway. However if I had that salad…Maybe next time you should make Moe a mesclun salad and then saute it for you. This has become my new solution for the mesclun mix I get at my CSA. Seems like the same dressing would work for both.-Robin
This salad looks delish! Has me craving one now;)
Oh my gosh Ann! You make such a \”simple salad\” look so appealing and appetizing. (Weren't you even tempted, just a little bit?!) 😀 I would be so happy to have that placed before me.You're a genius in the kitchen! And have I told you lately how in love with your photography I am? You've captured the light so beautifully as you always do. *sigh* Pure eye candy. xo
That is a perfect summer salad:)
This salad looks so good……now I feel like I want one…… great photo's.
I'd like to try making that simple dressing, Ann.Your photos are exquisite, as always. Please do a post on how to get your hard boiled eggs to be so perfect? Mine always have that yucky green/gray band of color around the yolks! I've tried every cooking time imaginable, with & without cream of tarter in the water, boiling water start as well as cold water. No luck…. help?
Rett, the green, gray colour is caused by over cooking. I start the eggs in cold water and bring to a boil, cover and turn off the burner and let the eggs continue to cook from the heat of the water for 10 to 15 minutes depending on size. I did eat some of the salad. I love tomatoes. BUT, I just don't get the satisfaction out of eating salads the way some people do. Ann
Those tomatoes look delicious. I can't wait for tomatoes to start tasting \”real\” here. I love a good salad, I just hate making salads. 🙂
Perfectly cooked hard boiled eggs….this looks like a perfect meal for a hot summer night…
