The other day I realized at the last minute that there weren’t enough leftovers from dinner for all three of us to eat lunch. We didn’t have any food because I needed to do grocery shopping. I decided to heat up the leftovers for the boys and figured I’d make something up for myself with the random things I had around the kitchen.

This salad is what I came up with with and it was so delicious that my husband was jealous.

Ingredients

• 4 medium tomatoes chopped
• 1 small tin anchovies which contains roughly 11 anchovies finely chopped
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic minced
• 3 large handfuls watercress
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
• black pepper to taste

Put the olive oil in a pan with anchovies and garlic. Saute for a few minutes. Let the anchovies kind of dissolve into the oil. Stir the mixture constantly so that the garlic doesn’t burn. Turn off heat and add basil and chopped tomatoes. Stir it around good to make sure the tomatoes are coated in anchovy and garlic. Put watercress on a plate and put the mixture from the pan on top of it. Add the balsamic vinegar and black pepper to the top of that and mix it up good.

I hope you enjoy this delicious salad. I did.
