I will admit it...I am NOT a salad as a meal girl :/
I try, I try hard, to love the idea of salads as a complete but in the end, no matter if i absolutely LOVE the salad i'm still hungry. I know this is completely a psychological thing...
However, every once in a while a salad comes along and something clicks. yum.... yum...yum....
I'm full, well not my dessert stomach, that's always hungry ;)

Lemon Herb Vinaigrette
Juice of 1 juice lemon (when you pick it up, it should feel heavy for its size)
2 tablespoons good extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon dried or 2 tablespoons fresh herbs - I used a mix of thyme, rosemary, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt & pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
Mix all ingredients except olive oil, slowly add in oil while stirring to blend.
