Maroff Salad

Ok, so Maroff (pronounced Mar-roof) is Tad's step grandfather from Lebanon. Let's just say he makes a tasty salad--that is if you love garlic and lemon as much as we do. Here goes for your breath and sweat for a week. Warn the hubby.

2-3 cloves garlic

1 tsp Kosher salt (at least)

1 lemon

2 T olive oil (something like that) 

Mash garlic and salt in your mortar and pestle to make a paste. Add the lemon juice of one lemon and olive oil. Season with pepper.

Drizzle over romaine with tomato, avocado, and cucumber. We love this. Especially when we make it a meal with roasted chicken. . . before starting the dressing, put a chicken breast in a small pyrex pan with olive oil, kosher salt and pepper. (apply generously) Cook for 25 minutes at 350. Cut and add to salad after it cools a bit of course. Enjoy.
