Tuffy P’s Kitchen Sink Salad

Tuffy P has in my mind revolutionized the salad. We call it her kitchen sink salad because she adds everything but the kitchen sink to it.

She starts with romaine hearts, cut up with scissors. Add lots and lots of veggies. Add black crinkly olives (pits included).  Add cherry tomatoes. Add crutons or perhaps jalapeno peanuts or some other crunchy item like that. Add a hard boiled egg, sliced. Don’t forget cheese. Add an insane amount of dried scotch bonnet chiles. Add a small amount of whatever commercial dressing you like. Think of something else? Add that too. Mix it up in a huge bowl and enjoy. Sometimes Tuffy adds kielbasa. I know, I know, she’s a vegetarian. I’ll let the secret out. Because of the high garlic content, kielbasa is now considered a vegetable. Trust me on this. I’ve even seen her cut up and add that close relative of the kielbasa root, the casalingo salami root.

Serious salad.
