There are so many great things to do with salads. You could do the traditional cut up veggies like tomatoes, bell peppers and cucumber, etc. But you could also get creative and chop up little apple chunks or mix in some mandarin orange slices. You can add chopped walnuts or pecans too. Pretty much any type of cheese can be good, cubed cheddar, blue cheese, feta, pepper jack, etc. If you want to keep it light, go for an Italian dressing or vinegarette.Any one have a good recipe for a light green salad recipe to go with chicken casserole?
