Un -Ordinary Salad

Who gets bored with the same old salad week after week?  ME, ME, ME!  I love salads because they are quick to throw together and a great way to get multiple veggies in throughout the day.  But, I get bored with the basic lettuce, spinach, blah, blah, blah.  Here are some variations that I like to change things up.

Diced Tomatoes
Avocado
Cucumer

Toss in a basic oil / vinegar / lemon juice dressing with fresh cracked pepper.  YUM.

Chopped broccoli
Chopped bell peppers
Chopped cucumbers
Chopped snow peas
Chopped tomatoes

Toss in a basic oil / vinegar dressing with a couple of drops of sesame oil.

Chopped romaine
Chopped tomatoes
Chopped cucumbers
Chopped pepperocinni's
Chopped turkey pepperoni
Chopped black olives

Sprinkle with Mrs. Dash tomato basil seasoning and drizzle with olive oil and vinegar.

I don't do bottled dressings.  They are packed with junk.  Low fat is usually high in sodium and sugar.  Low sodium is higher fat. Low sugar means artificial sweetener.  And most are filled with preservatives.  Make your own!  It's so simple.  I use a basic oil / vinegar and either fresh or dried herbs or Mrs. Dash.  You can also change out your oils, ie - olive oil, sesame oil, infused olive oil etc. for different flavors.  Balsamic vinegar is a great option as well.
