Thoughts on hospitality

The word “hospitality” seems to be a scary word for many. In our busyness, we are fearful of commitment, of something taking us away from “our” time. Or we think hospitality only means hosting a party. But the blessing of hospitality can be as simple as taking a piece of leftover cake or pie to your neighbor. It can be preparing a dinner board and bringing it to a family who moved in next door. It can be making sandwiches for needy folks once a week. It’s this kind of hospitality that doesn’t have anything to do with whether you have a house or the state of your home.

If you have some easy go-to recipes, hospitality is much easier!

This last week, we brought this salad to some friends for dinner. It’s also great to “bring your hospiatlity with you.”

Ingredients
 

  • Cobb Salad
  • 3 large eggs
  • 4 slices bacon
  • 1 14 oz can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • ½ cup chopped cucumber
  • 1 avocado, cubed
  • ¼ cup crumbled blue cheese
  • Honey Mustard Vinaigrette
  • 3 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp honey
  • 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely minced or pressed
  • Pinch of kosher salt and black pepper
  • ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Place the eggs in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium heat and boil for 1 minute. Turn off the heat and cover the pot. Let sit for 10 minutes, then drop the eggs into an ice bath. Once cool, peel and slice the eggs.
  • While the eggs cook, heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the bacon and cook until crisp and crunchy. Remove it and lay it on a paper towel to drain any excess grease. Once cool, crumble the bacon.
  • To assemble the salad, place the chickpeas, tomatoes, cucumber, avocado and cheese in segments on a plate. Add in the bacon and the eggs. Drizzle with Honey Mustard Vinaigrette and top with fresh herbs.
  • Make the dressing:
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, honey, mustard garlic, salt and pepper, continuing to whisk while streaming in the olive oil. This dressing stays great in the fridge in a sealed container for a week or so.
  • To serve on a board:
  • Assemble the food items in rows on the board.
  • Serve with the dressing on the side (or you can drizzle right before serving).
