Had a different salad for lunch and it was just boring. I find that the lemon and olive oil is just not making it. The regular salad I had the day before with lettuce and all was good with the dressing, although I took out most of the lettuce. It was just too chewy, not crisp. I find I am really getting sick of lettuce like so many fruits and veggies not "the same" anymore.
So, this morning I made up a salad of tomatoes, blanched then chilled zucchinni, scallions, olives (non salted - rather strange!) and celery. Looked wonderful. Covered it with the lemon and olive oil dressing with salt, pepper, and the garlic herb spice. Let it sit for hours until dinner.
Was looking forward to it but when dinner time came, ate only a third of it. The dressing was just not good for that combo of veggies I guess. I do understand that my taste buds may be off due to the cancer, synthroid and the thyrogen but still. I do find it weird sometimes how my tastebuds are just not the same, so maybe there is some truth to it.
In the end. I ate because it was good for me. However, I find that my organic yukon gold potatoes, sliced like french fries and covered in olive oil then roasted/baked in oven for a half hour has become my favorite food! I seem to think of eating them morning noon and night, but don't. Also am loving radishes plain. More foods I like plain than trying to make them "interesting". Just add a bunch of non-iodized salt and go for it!
