I have wanted to make a classic wedge salad with cherry tomatoes and blue cheese dressing for the blog for-like-ever and I decided I’d put it on the calendar for #SaladMonth. I even typed up a hypothesis draft and bought cherry tomatoes and blue cheese. But then I started snoring because that was so boooring!
