1-10-11 Didn't Go A Planned

I had big plans for this salad, but things don't always go as planned. I wanted to make a steak salad leftover from last night's dinner with family. But my husband forgot to take it out of the trunk and off to work he went this morning. I also wanted to try a clean ranch dressing I found at The Gracious Pantry. But I screwed it up by misunderstanding "blend with a whisk" and put it in a blender which made it way too thin. After adding some arrowroot in hopes of thickening it then some sour cream, it was still watery. So it's in the fridge hopefully getting thicker. Next time I'll add the seasoning to greek yogurt and slowly whisk in buttermilk until it's the consistency I want.

So today's salad was pretty usual. Romaine lettuce with red peppers, walnuts, dried apricots, and shredded carrots. The dressing was apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey, salt and Parmesan cheese. All in all it was good, just not what I was craving. Tonight I'll make sure the steak gets in the house. :)
