Chicory Avocado Salad

20201016, The Greek word "αλλεργία" (allergía, meaning "altered reaction") is the root of the word "allergy." Symptoms range from just feeling off, itchiness, or a skin reaction, all the way to, in severe cases, difficulty breathing. (Source: Namuwiki) The list of culprits is wildly varied - fruits like peaches (as featured in the Oscar-winning Parasite), nuts like walnuts, vegetables like taro, even dust, metal, and water. Meanwhile, allergies you never had can show up as you get older, and for me, that's #arugula. I used to eat it happily for a long time, but one day my mouth suddenly swelled up, and it took a full day for the swelling to go down. So today's breakfast swaps the arugula for something that tastes closest to it (or so I tell myself - really it's just what was left in the fridge), the pleasantly bitter #chicory, with olive oil, whole grain mustard, a white wine vinegar dressing, and #avocado on top. Ta-da~, in just a short time, a #breakfast was born that'll breathe some good energy into the day ahead. #salad #breakfast #myFrenchstylesalad
