Salad and Song

We'll get to the food in a minute, but first, I need to say just one thing:

GO HEELS! BEAT dook!

But I digress. Harvest salad - a must-make. Perfect for Tuesday Night Salad Night because it's filling but still light so as not to weigh me down after yoga. It's perfectly appropriate for regular-food-Thursdays. And it's man-approved. B really likes this salad. I think it's the bacon. How can you not love bacon?

This UNC alum has a game to watch, so I'll leave you here with the recipe (which is an adaptation of this). And I promised you a song, so I'll also leave you with this:

Hark the sound of Tar Heel voices
ringing clear and true,
singing Carolina's praises,
shouting, "N-C-U."
Hail to the brightest star of all,
clear its radiance shine
Carolina, priceless gem,
receive all praises thine.

I'm a Tar Heel born
I'm a Tar Heel bred
and when I die
I'm a Tar Heel dead
So it's rah-rah Caro-lina-lina
rah-rah Caro-lina-lina
rah-rah Caro-lina-lina
GO TO HELL, DOOK!

Poppy seed salad dressing

Mix 1 part balsamic vinaigrette to 3 parts poppy seed dressing. Toss well with ingredients. Amount of ingredients can be left up to your tastes or to whatever you have around the house.
