That’s not my plate.
Mama gets the credit for making this one. I picked up a few goodies on the way home. And speaking of stopping by a local market to get some ingredients, what’s up with grocers and where they decide things should go? If I can get away with it, I usually stop by Giovanni’s Produce in El Cerrito. It’s a smallish little neighborhood store with decent stuff and of course, Rick’s Quality Meats. Okay, so we’re talking just a few rows of canned/bottled/boxed goods here, not much. If you want tomato sauce you only have a few choices, which is fine. Okay, one of the things on my list was Red Wine Vinegar. That’s an easy one, the vinegars are over here with the salad dressings, oils AND OTHER VINEGARS, right? Nope. No sir, ain’t there. They got white vinegar and cider, but no red wine vinegar. Looks as though I’m going to have to make another stop, which I don’t want to do. I’m weary from working all day and want to go home. At this point I remember some other things on another shelf on the other side of the store. I’ll check there, just to see. Bingo! There it is, next to all the expensive balsamic vinegar and imported olive oils (2 kinds). GOLDANGIT MAN !!! Why the hell can’t they put the vinegars with the damned vinegars !?!
Wanna see what’s in the salad? Yes, there’s red wine vinegar in it.

Let’s start with the list of ingredients, eh.
Dressings got in it:
3/4 cup evoo
1/4 cup red wine vinegar (damned vinegar)
1/3 cup green olives – roughly chopped
1 tsp minced garlic
2 TBS toasted Corriander seeds (use cast iron skillet, no oil ya foo)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
For the salad (that’s the lettuce part for you meatheads):
1 head o’ lettuce (make it a decent size)
2 good oranges
1 red onion (not too large)

To put it all together, make the dressing first. Then wash, dry and tear up the lettuce. Cut up the onions however you want. The orange? pay a little more attention to. You probably don’t have to Supreme it, but do cut the pith off. Take a close look at my orange picture up there. I call that cut, Biggles Supreme (half assed Supreme). If it were truly Supremed the wedges would be carefully sliced out as well. This leaves NO gacky pith, but I’m lazy and didn’t want to spend the time. Sorry Shuna!

That’s not my plate.
