Granted, at this point any salad with walnuts, something sweet, and crumbled cheese is basically a cliche. I mean come on, even McDonald's has one. Still, this was incredible.
Made entirely from ingredients left by the gracious hosts for whom I'm house sitting, this salad featured:
-endives
-slightly blanched asparagus
-toasted walnuts
-crumbled feta
-extremely ripe hunks of avocado
-freshly ground black pepper
-a pinch of sea salt
-a drizzle of honey
-a drop of red wine vinegar
And yet it was so much more than that. Together, with a bite of black pepper, honey, avocado, feta, endive and salt, something entirely new was born. A world of flavors, a world of textures, even a world of slightly varied temperatures (toasty walnuts, still warm asparagus, cool endive, room temperature feta).
I have to say it again: it was the best salad I've ever had.

I have temperature issues with food--but I love the idea of different temperatures and textures. I can't believe these were all leftovers.
