I got a mandoline for Christmas this year (so excited!) and yes, I cut myself the very first time I used it but that isn't going to stop me. Today for lunch I was feeling the particular need to break away from all of the rich foods we have been gorging ourselves on over the holiday - cheeseball, chorizo stuffed peppers, creamed eggs (another blog post for another day), homemade fudge, etc... I was determined to make a salad. Unfortunately, all of the salad greens that are the normal stock in our fridge had gone bad during our healthy balanced diet hiatus. Cue: mandoline.
