(PS - The best thing about salads is that you don't have to measure! There's no instruction necessary, and every topping can be added in whatever amount you desire. )
- Romaine Lettuce
- Mandarin Oranges
- Shredded Carrots
- Dried Cranberries
- Turkey (as in, from the deli - a nice and dry variety, sliced slightly thicker than you would want for a sandwich and then cut into bite-size pieces)
- Bleu Cheese
- Toasted Nuts (when I make it at home, I used glazed nuts- either pecans or walnuts)
- Dress with Balsamic Vinaigrette (I've found a yummy maple balsamic that compliments the salad quite well. )
I wish I had a picture to share with you - next time we meet up, I will try to remember to snap one. It's a wonderfully colorful salad with lots of different textures. It's true what they say - you eat with your eyes first!
I hope this concoction gives you some inspiration on your next salad! Remember, not all green and leafy things are evil!! :)
