Easiest Salad Dressing Ever

Frisee is a kind of lettuce. More specifically, it is a kind of endive. If you look up frisee online, in fact, you will find a lot of information about endive. Upon further investigation, the words chicory and escarole are bandied about, and I even saw a radicchio pop up once or twice. Those are a lot of fancy ways to say "bitter lettuce," and really, they all failed to convince me that I'm not eating a thistle.

To clarify, that was the frisee. This is a thistle:

See the difference? Yeah, me neither.

Fancy, gourmet creations using frisee abound. But some days I just can't deal with fancy, gourmet creations. So instead I present to you the easiest salad dressing recipe I have ever used. The tangy-sweet of this dressing balances the bitter flavor of the frisee quite nicely.

Loot: Week 2

Week 1 of our CSA experience went well. We ate well, had fun, and got through all our vegetables.

Week 2 was a little tougher. This is for quite a few reasons, none of which are particularly interesting, or related to the CSA. Jobs, small children, real life kind of stuff. We didn't feel much like cooking, so we took week 2 a little easier. Used simpler recipes, ordered some takeout (and wrote blog posts way after the fact).

Regardless of how we felt all week, the bounty from the CSA continued. We got fennel, beets, garlic scapes, red russian kale, cilantro, frisee, snap peas, cabbage, and of course a beautiful bouquet. None of these are particularly unfamiliar or difficult to prepare, so they're perfect for a lazy week.
