Invent Your Own Salad
Posted by Krista | Under Misc, Recipes Thursday Jan 5, 2006The most basic salad is iceberg lettuce with tomatoes. You can make it more fancy and nutritious by using romaine or leaf lettuce, and adding anything you want to it. Some ideas include: cucumbers, mushrooms, green onions, carrots, green peppers, bacon bits, nuts or sunflower seeds, cheese, or dried fruit.
Here are three of my favorite salad combinations:
Greek Salad
- Tomato
- Cucumber
- Red Onion
- Crumbled Feta Cheese
- Greek Kalamata Olives (ordinary Black or Burgundy Olives ok)
Green Apple Salad
- Thin slices of Granny Smith Apple (or Pear)
- Red Onion
- Crumbled Bleu Cheese
- Whole Pecans
- Vinaigrette Dressing
Antipasto Salad
- Chunks of Swiss Cheese
- Chunks of Cheddar Cheese
- Chunks of Pepperoni
- Chunks of Ham
- Olives (Black and/or Green)
