If it wasn't for those darn croissants!
Posted by Liz
I thought I might have been losing a few LBS, between lots of walking, some hiking, swimming, a bit of snorkeling and 5000 trips every day up and down the companionway stairs…. But oh, Ed and I love the French islands WAY too much - - the people, the laid back attitudes, no harassment/hustle, and yes, the fantastic breads and croissants. Oh well!
We try to counter those indulgences with delightful late lunches comprised of some delicious salads (oh yes, and usually there is some French bread and cheese thrown in there too!)
My new favorite salad that I make for us:
Escarole (fluffy lettuce)
A few thin slices of onion
Some black olives or olive tapenade on the side
Fresh, ripe, juicy tomatoes sliced on top
Roasted red and yellow peppers (from the jar)
Some cubed beets if I have them on board
Fresh cracked pepper
Herbes du Provence sprinkled on
Drizzled with a citron vinaigrette salad dressing
