What are your favorite salad ingredients? I'm creating salads with 4 ingredients, plus dressings / toppings. So i can have a variety of salads and not get bored with them.
I've found that I easily get tired of tomato and cucumber in salad. Like it gets boring. But when i have a tomato cucumber salad by itself it's amazing.
My latest fave salad blend is. Fresh baby spinach, shredded red cabbage and shredded carrot. With honey mustard dressing, and either sunflower or pumpkin seeds.
I stopped buying dressings a long awhile ago. But i really do like some kind of light flavor on my salad, Citrus juices and olive oil being my fave. second by a little dijon mustard and honey that is watered down a bit and drizzled over my salad.
I love vinegar on my salad, balsamic and red wine. I usually put both on. I usually need a bit of substance, too. I can't stand a veggie-only salad. Give me some protein - eggs, ham, beans etc
