Salads are a no-brainer for me. I don’t post many salad recipes unless it is a “special” salad that goes outside of the formula I usually use. We eat a lot of salads around here as a side dish alongside a meal or for lunch. This way, I can use the bits and pieces of what I have on hand to have a different salad every night. The basic formula I use is:
Lettuce + vegetables/fruit (as many or few as you want) + nuts + cheese + dressing
Explore some of the many combinations below:
Basic – Spring mix + Cucumber + Grape Tomatoes + Pistachios + Mini Mozza Balls + French Dressing
