Your " Go To" snack

1
Something that requires specific ingredients (no substitutions), can be prepared in under 10 minutes, that you make on a regular basis (no "I made a crepe 2 years ago and it was delicious") and can be prepared as such by no-one but you (ie. "My brother tried making it once and even though he's a 3 star Michelin chef, it wasn't the same").

Does not have to be an original recipe. Could be a turkey sandwich, but it's your version of a turkey sandwich.

Salad.

-romaine lettuce, spinach, mixed greens, romaine+the beet greens from the borscht you made last night, edible stuff growing wild in your lawn

-tomatoes, olives, red or white onion, red pepper, thawed frozen green peas, walnuts or sunflower seeds, bacon bits, and cheese (feta, gorgonzola, pecorino romano, extra-sharp cheddar...whatever's available)

-2nd tier things to add if they are in the fridge: leftover chicken, some drained kidney or garbanzo beans, water chestnuts, croutons, bean sprouts, spinach, fresh herbs, wedges of oranges, dried cranberries

-wash, cut, put in bowl

-make a vinaigrette out of vinegar, some seasoning, and oil. If you've just added bean sprouts and water chestnuts to the salad, you can use rice wine vinegar and sesame oil with perhaps some peanut butter and honey and lime juice. If you've just made something very fruity and sweet, counter-act that with something very spicy. Throw some mushrooms in. Try a saffron and walnut oil vinaigrette.

Among my friends and family, I am popularly considered to make the best salads ever. To me, they're usually a way to use up tiny portions of leftovers and take under ten minutes to prepare, especially if you think ahead and chop up a little extra onion or red pepper when cooking something else. They're great late night snacks that don't leave me feeling so guilty about what I've just eaten as, say, nachos. I could probably live on nothing other than salads. In fact, I'd probably be healthier if I did.
