Vinaigrette:

1 part olive oil
3/4 part red wine vinegar
Pinch of salt
Dash of dried basil leaves
Pinch of black pepper
Drops of sesame seed oil
Pinch of garlic powder

With the oil in a bowl, add your dry ingredients first and allow a few minutes for the oil to infuse. Add the pure sesame seed oil and then whisk in the red wine vinegar with a fork until the color is uniform.

June Salad:

1 part chard
1 part romaine lettuce
4 radishes
Sprigs of parsley
Capers
Dash of paprika

Rinse the vegetables well. Pull apart, by hand, the chard, lettuce and parsley. Layer in your bowl if you are only serving one and wish to skip the tossing stage. Slice the radishes and arrange on top of the salad. Top with capers, drizzle vinaigrette and sprinkle with paprika.

Eat.

lettuce tuna

Going along with the theme that I am just eating what happens to be left over in my pantry we will make a quick snack. I’d love to spend more than a couple paragraphs on this topic but I will start writing more later about methods and strategies for eating and planning your budget for food.

I made this snack because I was not in the mood to wash dishes and because I was hungry. Using one can of tuna, we can distribute the meat evenly over three large leaves of lettuce. Each leaf of lettuce was seasoned with a thin spread of prepared Wasabi. After the tuna, all I needed to do was sprinkle with sesame seed oil and onion powder. If you want a little more flavor from your tuna wrap, just dash some sea salt and garlic powder or black pepper.

Roll, wrap, eat and enjoy.
