I'll include it when I figure out what I did wrong. For now I'll simply share my replica of Noni's card.

That crust is pretty thin. Also, look at all those cracks.

I barely used a third of it. Jeff likes his salads well dressed. You could definitely get away with using less. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5133fa67e4b021358bcd5b00/1376273320456-V94WT3N7EJ2W7L5WKKYK/036.JPG Blog - Mexican Chef's Salad It's not necessarily a very pretty salad. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5133fa67e4b021358bcd5b00/1376273579287-7AHZE8ANG3UV4CDQDGOU/038.JPG Blog - Mexican Chef's Salad I should have set aside a couple tomato bits to place on the top to brighten it up. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5133fa67e4b021358bcd5b00/1376268406182-TJFCRQ4V801K71J5DRYC/024.JPG Blog - Mexican Chef's Salad Check out that nifty bag of chips.  https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5133fa67e4b021358bcd5b00/1376272709389-G1HHLZPF1ZRUF8F68RQK/032.JPG Blog - Mexican Chef's Salad https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5133fa67e4b021358bcd5b00/1376268665031-Y2E66P5FXDSXWI3X1UDG/025.JPG Blog - Mexican Chef's Salad Just like the Taco Salad from my memory this recipe begins by browning ground beef. I added salt and pepper to the cooking beef. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5133fa67e4b021358bcd5b00/1376270487887-CYF4WHHDJO4CIMO8MDJW/031.JPG Blog - Mexican Chef's Salad Salads like this are so easy because once all the prep work is complete everything just gets dumped in one bowl and mixed. http://liberallyspiced.com/blog/2013/7/23/i-can-eat-that monthly 0.5 2013-07-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5133fa67e4b021358bcd5b00/1374643869277-AQ5367U5XDROGTAUQ802/039.JPG Blog - "I can eat that." I made these on a work night and I didn't feel like getting the electric griddle out. It probably would have been faster to do so because I could have fried more at one time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5133fa67e4b021358bcd5b00/1374643806593-Z0M5VHDEZYJ4T0UH7OF1/035.JPG Blog - "I can eat that." When I first grated the zucchini I wondered if I should drain some of the moisture from it. It was a pretty wet mess. Once I mixed it into the other batter ingredients I could see that wasn't a problem. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5133fa67e4b021358bcd5b00/1374644039647-Z41KMNW3AVDQYD2WH4SX/048.JPG Blog - "I can eat that." A closeup of one pancake from the second batch. The outside is brown, not burned.

It was a good thing I didn't do all the batter at once. These were pretty close to burned and the inside was undercooked. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5133fa67e4b021358bcd5b00/1374644135394-QHSR14CGW8EMXH0G5RP4/055.JPG Blog - "I can eat that." Eventually I was able to manage several, non-burned, pancakes. It didn't make a lot but it was a yummy side dish. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5133fa67e4b021358bcd5b00/1374643643775-CGBTUKKMYMMA8S441WTQ/032.JPG Blog - "I can eat that."
