with arugula, hearts of palm and chickpeas
no extras.
missing the cucumbers and greens
undressed, naked salad, cucumbers gone AWOL.
with hearts of palm and arugula
with pomegranate seeds (very Armenian)
with chick peas and hearts of palm and iceberg lettuce.
a tablespoon of EVOO, half a tablespoon of lemon juice for two people. Lucini premium is a reliable salad oil.
Forgot the half clove of garlic, lower right, next to the world's best garlic press (Kuhn Rikon).
the nice color is from the Aleppo red pepper, an option.
the end result this time.
Prepared by isghouhi.
Hearts of palm are a more recent addition to the mix. Note the world's best garlic press. Kuhn Rikon. Farmer's market tomatoes like the one in the background are also really great in the salad. Sometimes we just do a beefsteak or heirloom tomato and red onion, maybe some avocado too. Vogel herbed sea salt and pepper.
Our mortar and pestle operation about to begin, to mush the garlic into the lemon oil mixture. Googling mortar and pestle the first AI question that pops up with an answer is: which is the mortar and which is the pestle? We have a wooden pestle here, and an old town blue Corelleware cereal bowl. Works great.
Tablecloth from Burano (Venice). Hmm, needs more red up front for the food porn quality shot.
