Manic Monday

So today we had our Module 1 final practical exam! We each had to make 9 perfect pieces of a medium diced potato, a batch of mayonnaise, and a quart of cream of broccoli soup. It went really really well and I'm so excited to be done with it and onto Module 2 tomorrow. It's been around a month in the program and so far so good!

Needless to say, however, that after running through my own little amateur episode of Chopped I had no desire to cook. So I came home and whipped up this little salad as a side to some grilled chicken (Lord knows I needed something light after a weekend of test batches of mayonnaise, cream soup, and mac and cheese). So, if you're interested, here is what is in it...

• One 15 oz. can of cannellini beans (rinsed)
• Chopped tomatoes (I had Campari tomatoes in the apartment - I used around 8)
• 1/2 of a medium sized red onion (chopped)
• A heaping handful of parsley (chopped)
• In a separate bowl whisk together red wine vinegar (5 tbs.), mustard (1 tsp.), olive oil (7 oz.)
• Salt/Pepper

Mix it all up and you're done! It took me less than 5 minutes to make and was really what I needed to get through a quick dinner. Now I am going to go watch some TV and maybe even indulge in some ice cream. Ciao!
