A bit low on protein is it not?

Looks good. And I have all the ingredients. Thanks. Not sure why
some people are having a hissy fit about your blog link.

Not every vegetarian eats two pound of protein at a meal. My
suggestion was just for a single entree.....protein can be obtained in
other forms, different times....different meals.

....but you already knew that.

Because they have nothing else to say.

That's what I thought. If it's a main dish, it needs some protein.
If I had something else in the same meal that had protein in it,
that would be the main dish, not the weak-@$$ salad.

Not that it didn't look tasty, mind you. It's just not a main
dish. With that salad as the main dish, I'd be looking for
some real food in about an hour, or at least a big piece
of cheese or salami or something.

What a fabulous idea Cindy...why don't you try adding your own
personal choices and tell us what you enjoyed.

As always...I will add my decade old tagline....personal choice and
preferences...plus ingredients make any dish your special meal. You
decide....I just offer the suggestions.


The Fine Art of Cooking involves personal choice.
Many preferences, ingredients, and procedures may not
be consistent with what you know to be true.
As with any recipe, you may find your personal
intervention will be necessary. Bon Appétit!

Seemed like a light main dish to me. The recipe suggested serving with
a light soup and bread. Maybe that wouldn't be a main meal for the day
(unless I was on a diet), but I personally wouldn't be hungry an hour
later.

The recipe also suggests topping the salad with a chicken breast. I'm
assuming a half breast per serving, but it didn't give any details.

I refuse to feed Mr. Bill's penchant for directing people to his blog
rather than interacting here with everybody, so I didn't follow the
link. What he posted here at rfc was insufficient for a meal.

Cindy...that post was directly from Fine Cooking...had NOTHING to do
with my blog. But you are more than welcome to join the rest of my
fans that do read!

The best to you and yours!

Did neither you nor Marty B note that he was directing you to a
commercial magazine's website? It wasn't his blog. Perhaps he didn't
want to infringe on their copyright, I don't know.

And evidently can''t read, since the link isn't his blog.
