Today at Work I Made...

A salad. I brought red chard, spinach, a tomato and pickles to assemble a salad. I made a simple dressing with apple cider vinegar, olive oil, sea salt, and dijon mustard. I think a soft boiled egg is great when using a simple vinegar dressing. The vinegar  cuts the yolky lipids and makes a satisfying, creamy dressing. This is my first time using the pickles and they're perfectly sweet, crunchy, and tart.

Pickles #2

I ran out of pickles! I eat them often as a side dish to intensely potent dishes because they are cool, crisp and flavor neutralizing. For that reason I keep them simple. I soak them over night in salt to dry them out, rinse and squeeze out excess water, and then soak them in 5 parts vinegar/ 2 parts water/ 1 part sugar. I cut them in chunks and paper thin slices for some textural variety.
