Salad that Rocks!

To my knowledge, not many people think to themselves: hmmmm, salad.  But more and more, I certainly do.  Let me walk you through my process:

Start with the greens, I love using pre-washed mixes (especially if they include shredded carrots) but also regular greens like spinach, romaine and the likes. For tonight I used leaf lettuce

Then you can build upon that with anything your heart desires in this case I have strawberries, green onions, avocado and tomato - don't forget to add a little salt to the tomato and avocado to really bring out their flavors!

See, doesn't this look pretty already?


It doesn't end there for me, I also add some dried cranberries, walnuts (but any nut you like will do), goat cheese and blueberries.


 Pre-goat cheese... don't you just LOVE the colors in this?

For dressing I have been using balsamic vinegar and lemon olive oil (that I find at Whole Foods) I love the citric flavor that it brings to the salad, but again whatever your heart desires is what you should add.

Ta-da! Dinner (or part of it if you share it with others) is served! Yum!!
