Its kind of like how you can buy a stick of Brussels sprouts at Whole Foods for like $4.99, and a huge bag of them are like $.99 here in Berlin. (Chalk it up to being closer to Brussels, I guess.)
My point is, I should be exploiting this price difference to my advantage and eating my weight in fancy field greens! Yet, I often think of a salad as a pale side to a rich dinner.
Not today though! I've been working my way through Appetite for Reduction (insert obligatory gushing about Isa Chandra Moskowitz here) and she has a whole range of interesting salad dressings to try from. And her garlicky Green Goddess Dressing is truly a thing of beauty. With peppery parsley, creamy tahini and tons of garlic, its enough to even drive my salad-hating hubby to steal from my bowl.
This one is going in the permanent rotation.

I am completely jealous of your cheap Brussels sprouts! I bought my first batch this week because it had been so long since I've had them!
I have to try that dressing. I make a new dressing each week to keep my salads interesting all week long.
That salad looks very delicious. I love garlic myself. :)
I'm not big on eating salads often but I'm more than willing to try this!

I've made this dressing and agree-it's really fab. Like you, I am on a lifelong garlic kick.
Funny what you said about Brussels spouts. I saw a measly, half-brown bag (maybe 15 sprouts, total) "on sale" at Whole Foods for $2.50. I just laughed and walked on. Really, WF? WtF?

I'll tell you something funny, I've never tasted Brussels sprouts.
Here's my tip on buying kale from a Farmer's Market: Inspect the leaves before purchasing. A couple months ago during heatwave I bought some DIRTY kale. Oh, the outside leaves looked fine, but inside I'm talking worms (and tiny green ones that blended right in) and snails and feces. What a rip off. I'll never buy it again.
My fave Isa recipe is "Coffee Chip Muffins" because they are so EASY and GOOD.
Very nice, thanks for the information.
