MIXED SALAD WITH HEARTS OF PALM AND GOAT CHEESE
Nothing beats a fresh mixed salad with lemon, garlic and extra virgin olive oil for me. Crunchy, fresh, tasty, nutritious and so full of flavor. Oh, and yes, you read that right. I add at least a clove of garlic in pretty much everything. Especially salads. As garlic sits and marinates with juices from all the vegetables, lemon and olive oil, it gives this "je ne sais quoi" flavor to the salad that you can't really quite catch with your tongue (but you will get hooked on it) and it's really fantastic and refreshing. It is great on it's own or can be served as a side dish for fish or meat.
