Saturday Lunch, June 2, 2007
So we have started cooking at home again after a long, long time wasting our money (going out all the time) on food that wasn't even that great. I'm going to try to put up most of our meals and attempt to explain how we made them. Enjoy!
Peppercorn Ranch Salad with Black Forest Ham and CoJack Sandwich
Our Rating: * * * * 1/2
The Peppercorn Ranch salad was inspired by our favorite Cincinnati pizza place, Dewey's. It's Romaine lettuce, red onion (sliced very thin), halved grape tomatoes, and bacon (cooked then broken into pieces, not bacon bits.) The Romaine is tossed in a bowl with a little Ranch dressing, freshly ground peppercorn and Balsamic vinegar. To serve, first put romaine in the dish, layer with the tomatoes, red onion, and bacon and top with shredded parmesan cheese.
For the sandwich, we used buns from the Fresh Market bakery, they call them Soft Golden Hamburger Buns, which we also used for our burgers (another day). They are pretty much what they say they are. Soft and Golden. They were great. On the sandwich we put thinly sliced Black Forest ham and Colby Jack cheese, (also from the Fresh Market) a slice of tomato, 3-4 spinach leaves, red onion, 2 strips of bacon, mayo, and spicy brown mustard.
Overall everything tasted really good. Although if we had to do it over, we would not have had these two things together. They have too much of the same ingredients that we felt like we were eating a bunch of the same thing, but separately they are very fresh tasting foods.
