Food Math

My #1 Rule:

If you eat well 90% of the time, you can eat like crap 10% of the time.

Or something like that, I don't know, I'm not a math genius.



You can also apply that theory to individual meals.  This salad is 90% good for you and 10% double cream brie.

If you drink a wine that is 10% alcohol, that means the other 90% is all antioxidants, right?  RIGHT??  Like I said.  I'm not a math genius.

OK, let's do this:

Stupid Easy Only Slightly Sinful Salad
total time 5 min


apples
brie
arugula


For the dressing:
dijon mustard
olive oil
honey

Slice an apple into bite sized pieces about 1/8" thick.  Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.  Top the apples with a few very thin slices of brie

Put it in the oven and set the oven to broil.  Broil 2 minutes or until the cheese just gets soft (this will be quick)

Meanwhile, mix 1 part dijon with 2 parts olive oil and 1/2 part honey.  Math Genius says for example:
1T dijon
1T olive oil
1/2 T honey

Toss over the arugula and place the apples and cheese on top!  Viola!
