Method
Salad Preparation
Prepare the Salad
In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, grated carrots, and finely sliced red onion. Toss to mix.
Dress the Salad
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Drizzle over the salad and toss to coat evenly.
Bread Stick Preparation
Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. Add flour, olive oil, salt, and garlic powder. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead and Rise
Knead the dough for about 5 minutes on a floured surface. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Shape and Bake
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Punch down the dough, shape it into sticks, and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, sugar, and brown sugar. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients.
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden. Allow to cool before serving.
