Cooked Salad
Tonight for dinner we had grilled pork chops and steamed cabbage ( a family favorite). We haven't had steamed cabbage in a quite a while. I scooped a very small portion on Ainsley's plate and she squished up her nose and said "I don't want that." I said "I'd like you to try a little." As I scooped a large helping on the next plate she looked up and said, "But we don't cook salad!" Aaaahhhh - the perspectives of little ones.

I agree with Ainsley's rule generally, although I do like cooked cabbage.
I also recently saw Alton Brown dip half of a head of arrugula in parmesan, then sear it to crust the cheese. He topped it with frozen balsamic vinegar and called it Good Eats ...
I will have to try that sometime, despite the fact that it clearly violates Ainsley's rule.
So cute! And smart. I think I'm with Ainsley on the cooked salad--even cabbage is pushing it in my book. Although I haven't tried your version, so I'll keep an open mind. Thanks for sharing!
Scott discovered he likes cooked cabbage when we used cabbage to insulate the meat and veggies in out campfire foil dinners. We really didn't plan on eating the cabbage,just the stuff inside, but scott ended up begging scraps of cabbage from other people's dinners.
