Tonight’s great big salad was courtesy of my employer! There were a bunch of great big salad bowls leftover after today’s “sorry we’re laying you all off, but here’s some pizza” luncheon, and when they were still there at the end of the day, I decided to take one home for dinner.

I added some ripe orange tomatoes, baby corn and freshly grated parmesan to a salad of boston lettuce, avocado, red grape tomatoes and hearts of palm. I can’t remember the name of the restaurant that delivered it, but damn if they don’t have the best Caesar dressing I’ve ever had, so I brought a tub of that home too.
