What is your favorite healthy salad recipe?

I have a friend coming over to cook dinner with me tonight. I wanted to make an interesting (vegetarian) salad to go along with the rest of our meal. Nothing super-complicated...just yummy!





Does anyone have a favorite salad recipe? And a recipe for the dressing to go along with it?

i just make mine with simple lettuce and tomatoe. I use Raspberry Vinagrette dressing tho =) yummmm. Kraft brand is the best
romaine hearts lettuce,spinach leaves, campari tomatoes, cucumbers, edamame,green peppers, pickled okra, radishes, sesame seeds, and sliced apples w/ red wine vinaigrette or bleu cheese and ranch dressing mixed together.
Here are some of my favorite salad recipes:


Cucumber Salad





Slice 2 peeled cucumbers. Slice thinly. Add 1 small sliced or chopped red onion. Cover with bottled red wine vinaigrette dressing. Salt and pepper to taste. Best if you let sit in refrigerator for at least an hour.





Bacon Salad

1 lg bowl salad greens


陆 chopped red onion


Salt


Pepper


Red Wine Vinegar





In salad bowl, combine the salad and onion. Coat with 录 cup red wine vinegar, salt and pepper. Chop bacon into little pieces. Cook until crispy. (You may need to add a little olive oil if bacon is very lean). Pour bacon and grease over salad.





Southwestern Ranch Salad

1 cup ranch flavored croutons


陆 cup ranch flavored almond salad topping


Hidden Valley Spicy Ranch dressing
