Your Salad, Your Life

Cooking offers insight to nourish your soul. This salad is no exception. The ingredients of this salad represent the ingredients of your life - family, work, friends, your environment. The watercress is peppery, which reminds me of my Aunty, who always spoke her mind. The tofu is mellow and adds substance, which brings to mind my even keeled friend who is a foundation in my life.  The bean sprouts are kind of crunchy and bring zest to this recipe, like my sister, who dances around her house singing Italian songs. The tuna offers Vitamin B 12, and Omega 3 fatty acids that reduce LDL cholesterol. This would be that friend or co-worker who can do it all. The garnish can represent a bouquet of flowers that add to the ambiance. The dressing brings it all together and “makes it”.  I see the dressing as faith.  What dressing do you use to flavor your life? A positive outlook? Love? Maybe adventure, peace,  or kindness. Have some fun and pay attention to who or what comes to mind with each ingredient as you put this salad together.
