Fake Chicken Salad

I'm still on the salad kick, so here's another super simple salad recipe.

And it's not fake chicken, or chicken salad, it's a fake salad with chicken. Now that that's clear, let's talk about chicken salad:

1. Chicken Salad it's not salad, it's a sandwich filling. You don't call peanut butter, "peanut butter salad". You know why? Because it doesn't make any sense, that's why. And 2. it has mayonnaise in it... What kind of salad is that? A gaining weight salad? BURRRRRRRNNing calories is what you'll need to do after you eat chicken salad.


I feel very strongly about this.


THIS salad on the other hand, is a salad with chicken on it. And it's fake because I bought frozen chicken, heated it in the oven and put it on top of lettuce, tomato and avocado with a balsamic vinaigrette on top. And while technically, this is a salad.


Oh, shut up.

"Winter" "Salad"

First off, let me start by saying it's "winter" here in LA. And I use the digital representation of air quotes  because the low is about 50 degrees. But nonetheless, after overeating during the holidays, it's nice to have a good salady salad.

But let's not cut good food out cold turkey. This "Winter" "Salad" is the perfect salad to ease you in from heavy eating to eating like you live in LA again. It looks like a taco salad, but don't be fooled, it is a taco salad- the most filling salad there is. And it's the second most caloric salad next to the dreaded candy bowl salad.

"Winter" "Salad"

• Lettuce
• Taco Seasoned Ground Beef
• Diced Tomato
• Corn
• Green Olives
• Red Onion
• Cheese
• Avocado
• Salsa instead of dressing

bruSKEtta

A common misconception about bruschetta is that is pronounced bruschetta. It isn't. It is pronounced brew-sk-etta. Unfortunately, if you say that anywhere in America, for instance, in an Italian restaurant, you'll sound either stupid or pompous. So, I guess, forget my whole point. But don't forget the olive oil and fresh basil, they really pull the whole dish together.
