    Mixed Green Salad with Veggies, Blue Cheese and Aged Balsamic

    I raided my kitchen to put together a nice salad for lunch - I topped some mixed greens with cucumber, grape tomatoes, baby bella mushrooms, yellow bell pepper, and sweet onion. I gave it a healthy sprinkle of blue cheese and drizzled on some aged balsamic and a good quality extra-virgin olive oil. A couple grinds of black pepper on top and it lunch was served. It was nice and crunchy and delicious.

        I need to do it more often! It's a great way to use up the leftover bits of veggies that I have hanging around!
