Does Anyone Have New Ideas for Green Salad?
By Leighann on Jul 8, 2009 in Vegetarian Cooking, What's Cooking?
i need new ways to make a green salad… any suggestions?
here's my favorite:
mixed baby greens
strawberries
avocados
feta
sunflower seeds
red onion
bacos
rapberry hazelnut vinagrette
any other ideas?
Admin: The best salad I had recently had:
baby spinach
walnuts
gorgonzola
blueberries
balsamic vinegar
That’s it. Yum, it was fantastic. My kid even liked it.
For more salad ideas, check the answers and Amazon resources below.
Here's what I usually have…never gets old
Romaine hearts chopped up
Baby field greens
Whole cherry tomatoes
Cucumbers
Sliced green olives – I LOVE olives, haha
Feta cheese
I make my own dressing with:
Good extra virgin olive oil
Juice of one lemon and one lime
Garlic
Kosher salt
Pepper
Parsley
And a sprinkling or parmesan
Whisk together, then pour it over the salad. Add salt to taste if the citrus is a little too sour for you. Enjoy!

Bibb Salad with Basil Green Goddess
1 cup good mayonnaise
1 cup chopped scallions, white and green parts (6 to 7 scallions)
1 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 lemons)
2 teaspoons chopped garlic (2 cloves)
2 teaspoons anchovy paste
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup sour cream
3 heads Bibb lettuce
2 to 3 tomatoes
Place the mayonnaise, scallions, basil, lemon juice, garlic, anchovy paste, salt and pepper in a blender and blend until smooth. Add the sour cream and process just until blended. (If not using immediately, refrigerate the dressing until ready to serve.)
Cut each head of lettuce into quarters, remove some of the cores, and arrange on 6 salad plates. Cut the tomatoes into wedges and add to the plates. Pour on the dressing and serve.

1 Fennel bulb, thinly sliced. put it in ice water, set aside (this will make the fennel crunchy)

-Throw ice water and dry fennel in kitchen towel.
Put baby mix green in a salad bowl, scatter the rest of the ingredients then add vinegrette. Toss before serving.

I like to add dried cranberries or pickled beets. Something different that stands out in the pantry
