I really liked the side-by-side photos.<br /><br />Nivera, even the biggest meat mallet I've seen isn't big enough for me. When I do pork tenderloins -- not pork loins -- one good shot gets them mashed nice and flat. I wouldn't want to use a knife. Not because I'm afraid, but just because I want something <em>bigger</em> and <em>heavier</em> than a mallet. Not thin and light. Ferretnick, I just updated to include a link to yours.

I have never used a mallet and in fact just last weekend taught my son the art of holding a big butcher knife safely to use the handle as a mallet.

For not only the kind words but also sharing good recipes on here.

This salad was every bit as yummy as you made it look (and perhaps even better!)
I'm looking forward to making it again.

Just slice thin, like you demonstrated, and nuke just enough to take the fridge chill off then add to salad. Very easy way to stretch leftovers.

Although, I'd miss my iced tea.<br />P.S. I'm going to make a plum pie tomorrow. I'll tell you how it goes.

Halidom, I went light on the onion for my wife's sake. When it's just me there's way more. And I completely agree on the chicken thighs.

Jenni, as long as there is a single leaf of lettuce on the bottom, technically it's a salad.

Stephanie, I don't miss the triple digits. (Although honestly, I'd trade it for the single digits. I hate being cold.)

In the shade. Also a good was for us to go through the pickled & marinated things in the pantry.

I like the thighs because they have a bit of fat that makes them more tender even though most is gone during cooking. I dress it with olive oil, garlic, and cider vinegar.I think by your pictures I use more onions as well. I do a similar salad but use chicken thighs.

Salad is a great tool for feeling better about what you're eating. When we order pizza we usually get a salad too. So it's healthy! Ignore all the bacon and high fat cheese. Looks wicked good to me.
