Mixed Greens and Egg Salad with Tarragon Vinaigrette
I heard a voice coming from the kitchen today. “Balsamic vinegar,” it said. Upon entering the kitchen, the voice came again, “Balsamic vinegar”. It took a few more times of hearing the voice repeat before realizing it was coming from the refrigerator. What I was hearing was the rest of the left over eggs from Easter, asking for balsamic vinegar. O.K. So, the eggs weren’t asking for it. I was. Like the way most of my meals come to fruition, it starts with a craving. I crave it. I eat it. I am comforted. Needless to say, this salad comforted me.
