THAT FIRST MEAL.

I often spend a good portion of my flights back home pondering what I want for my first meal back in the states. It changes from time to time but usually it involves a salad - strange, right?? It's just that most countries just don't. get. salads!!! Especially the concept of make-your-own salads. And after a gluttinous vacation filled with fatty, indulgent foods...it's nice to finally have a light meal. The salad that I've been ordering quite frequently as of late is the Country Style Salad topped with tuna from Grey Dog. There is something so ridiculously ADDICTING about their house vinaigrette - it is sweet and acidic and absolutely delicious. I find myself soaking up the last of its remains with the soft, herby focaccia bread they provide gratis. It is just a simple mix of greens, grape tomatos, cucumbers, pea shoots, and chick peas (I omit the red onions) but I could definitely eat it every day. For me, it was the perfect welcome-back meal to New York.
