Potato salad.
Field greens or baby spinach


fresh pears or apples cut up


dried cranberries


crumbled blue cheese (or gorgonzola or feta)


sliced almonds toasted in the toaster oven (or pine nuts or pecans)





You can use any vinagrette, but my favorite is:


red wine (1/2 cup) (if you don't do alcohol, you can substitute balsamic vinegar, or even orange juice!)


olive oil (1 and 1/4 cup)


1/2 shallot sliced into very little pieces


2 TBSP dijon mustard


1 TBSP honey


salt and pepper to taste





There are all sorts of variations of this as long as you stick to the basic requirements for the ingredients. It boils down to this:





Something leafy


some sort of fresh and/or dried fruit


Some type of nuts that go with the fruit


Some type of cheese that goes with the nuts and fruit.





For the dressing:


Something acidic (wine, vinegar, citrus juices, etc.),


something oily (usually a type of oil or mayonnaise),


Something savory (like onions or garlic),


Something mildly spicy (mustard, curry, red pepper paste, etc)


Something sweet (honey, sugar, apple juice, etc.)


Salt and pepper (depending on what else you use, and for salt you could use soy sauce or anything else salty and for pepper you could use chili oil or anything else spicy or nothing at all)





The possibilities are endless, but it is almost always good.





A good hint - Beware of over-dressing your salad, or it can get way too oily.
