If you think bagged salads are the easiest – stop being so boring.

Grab a couple of beautiful heirloom tomatoes, an english cucumber, olives and whole marinated artichokes from the grocery store olive bar – chop them up and throw them on a platter. Dress with lemon wedges, a splash of good olive oil, salt, pepper and dried oregano. Serve like a star – or like Betty Draper. As I keep thinking of her saying “Go bang your head against the wall. Only boring people are bored.”
