Neglecting my Duties

Hey Fam, Just wanted to stop through and let you know I haven't forgotten about you. What I need for you to do is leave a comment and let me know if you've tried any of the salads you saw in the previous post...
I'm really interested to see if anyone tried the sauerkraut salad. If you haven't, make sure that you do (and add your own spin but make sure to add something sweet like tomato to the concoction).

More posts coming soon.

Delicious Salad ingredients

Hey now, A good friend asked me to post the ingredients of some of the salads I have pictured in my previous post (Add A Salad). But for the life of me I just don't know what all of them hold.

Well, here's how it happens: I generally shop the grocer and the farmer's market for interesting things and they sit here in the fridge till I add them to some dish. I make a big salad about 5 times a week and eat on it all day or until it's finished. I simply don't have a set recipe. A salad, a soup, a stew is kinda like a smorgasbord; you should be able to add whatever is handy and fresh.

What I can do is list some of my favorite salad ingredients and that is what I'll do.

First off, I mostly make Spinach Salads, Green Salads (with a light and dark green mix), and Sauerkraut Salads - so far.

Some of my favorites things to add:

Capers
Artichoke Hearts
Mushrooms
Carrots
Beets
Tomato
Celery
Olives
Broccoli
sometimes Onion but not so much

Shop your fresh produce aisle and find your own favorites.

Oh! I also tend to use just some stone-pressed Olive Oil and maybe a little Apple Cider Vinegar or Red Wine Vinegar, so far. I've only been at it about 4 months, so I'm saving making all the special dressings until I'm kinda tired of these combos.

Good Luck and let me know when you make a great salad and what you used.

Many Blessings.
