You can add what veggies you like and sub romaine for spinach.
Try adding almonds or pecans and dried crandberries. Or here is an idea that is completely different. I got this recipe from allrecipes.com but it has become one of my absolute favorite salads. It is a strawberry spinach salad and it is truly amazing!

Black Bean, Corn %26amp; Edamame Salad


聽


Serves 4-6


鈥? 2 cups frozen edamame, thawed


鈥?2 cup fresh corn (or frozen corn, thawed)


鈥?1 15-ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained


鈥?1/4 cup diced sweet onion


鈥?1-2 tomatoes, diced


鈥?1/3 cup garlic salad dressing (or to taste)


鈥?1/3 cup chopped cilantro


鈥?Salt and pepper to taste





Combine all ingredients in a bowl and toss to combine.


Chicken or shrimp turns this salad into a complete meal.
I usually use a couple of different lettuces (not rocket, it is too bitter) grated carrot or julianne, snow peas, feta cheese or wotever you like, beetroot, celery, green apple, green grapes, lebanese cucumber, olives, anchovies , chopped up boiled egg, capsicum, tomatos, red onions and chopped up artichoke and ground pepper.





I then put either a ranch style dressing or just olive oil and basil which I make myself or balsamic (whatever you like really).





I also make sure that the portions are the same size, like i cut up everything, even the lettuce, so there is no BIG chunks of anything.





Also what is extra delicous, I will make the above and also fry some marinated chicken, pork or lamb skewers that you get from the deli at the supermarket. When cooked, I pull the meat off the skewers and toss the meat through the salad.





Once I have tossed it through the bowl, I then platter it up and also put things like sliced oranges or Honeydew melon around the edge of the platter. The family love it and so do my friends whenever I entertain.





Serve with French Sticks and an olive oil dipping sauce.
