mid-soup salad

it's like a pizza salad

making soup takes an ass-long time. especially if you're starting with stock. and ultra-especially if you have a cold.

the house smells all lovely like warmth and food — and all i want to do is nosh.

so, i always have a mid-soup salad while it's cooking.

this one was particularly good.
ingredients:
baby arugula
fresh basil, lightly chopped
tomato
red onion
black olives
pepperoni, cut into wedges
i topped it all off with champagne vinaigrette
