\u00a0I was talking with my older sister a few days ago and we were talking about inherent talents…our own and those of people we know and love. One of the things that we agreed on was that very often we are unaware that something that we are good at is also something that not a lot of people are good at…but because we have always been good at it, we just assume that everyone is good at it. Why is it hard to admit to ourselves that we have something that we have always been good at that we just take for granted?<\/p>\n

A good example in my world is making salads. I rarely include salads in posts because I’ve always considered salads something that everyone can just throw together. Wrong. It’s something that is easy for me but not so easy for a lot of people.<\/p>\n

Tonight I made a really delicious salad, better than my usual pretty good salads, and it included a nectarine, an avocado, some blue cheese, toasted pecans, and two kinds of lettuce mixes, plus a bottled blue cheese dressing. I was worried that it would miss the mark because when I was making it, it seemed to have too much nectarine. When it came time to eat it, however, the amounts were just right, so I don’t know everything about making salads!<\/p>\n

So it turns out that part of my talent is having a sense for the proportions of the different ingredients. Since I never measure, this recipe is a lot of guessing. Hope that it works for you! If it doesn’t taste right, just try adding a bit more of one of the ingredients. Still not right, a bit more of another. Save the ‘bit more’ of the blue cheese for last. It’s such a strong flavor, you really just need a small amount to have a big impact.<\/p>\n

Nectarine and Pecan Salad with Blue Cheese<\/b>
Serves 4<\/p>\n

4 cups mesclun (mixed filed greens)
1-2 cups romaine (mine came mixed with a small amount of purple cabbage shreds)
1 avocado, peeled, pit removed, and cut into bite sized pieces
1 nectarine, cut into 1-inch wedges, then each wedge cut into thirds, pit discarded
1-2 tablespoons blue cheese crumbles (start with the smaller amount)
12 pecan halves, toasted, cooled and broken into small pieces
Enough blue cheese salad dressing (I use Boat House) to just moisten the salad mixture<\/p>\n

In a large bowl place the mesclun, romaine, avocado pieces, nectarine pieces, blue cheese crumbles, and broken toasted pecan pieces. Toss with clean hands to mix. Add less blue cheese dressing than you think you need and toss well with salad tongs or servers. Add additional dressing, if needed, a little at a time. Be sure to toss thoroughly to coat the lettuce leaves.<\/p>\n

Serve at once and enjoy!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
