Easy Strides towards better food.

I am an amateur trying to learn to cook the best food I can.
I will be documenting what I learn and posting my better creations here. I hope you enjoy the blog, and I hope what I write helps some of you, who might also be struggling to learn how to cook as well.

I like to research multiple recipes , then start from scratch when I have a deep enough understanding of something to really personalize it.

Enjoy!

Avocado salad.

This is a salad of my own creation. I put the ingredients together for health reasons.

All of these ingredients have some nice health benefits. Avocados lower cholesterol. Lettuce is good for the heart. Ginger is good for muscles, migraines and more.

This is a very basic salad, one that's easy to make and good for dinner, because it's ingredients help sleep as well as a feeling of fullness.

So to start out, here are some stocks of romaine.



Obviously we need to cut them into nice bite size pieces.



That's nice, now we add prepare the avocado.



This is not like the guacamole in that the smooshier the better, in fact, it's better to go ahead and have it as fresh/hard as you can, within reason.

Only using a half of the avocado for this single serving salad.

We're going to go ahead and slice it into strips.



A little too long so we're going to go ahead and slice it the other way a couple times to get some nice chunks.



A little mushy but still looks good. I shouldn't have put this off the last few days, or this would have been a lot better.

Going to put some sushi  ginger in, I put it next to the unused avocado for comparison.



WE just need a few slices accross and it will be the perfect size.



We're going to mix it in a little at a time,to make it more even.



Now we're going to do the same thing with the avocado slices.



Looking good, all that is left is the seasoning. Going to add sea salt:



Freshly ground pepper:



Mix some soy sauce in:



Looks good! Here is the final product:



Tastes amazing, I love this salad.
