Salad can be so boring when you go out to eat. With the exception of The Naam restaurant I am almost never satisfied with the lack lustre attempt at healthy. I take this into my own hands at home and find new and exciting ways to make salads taste like meals and not rabbit snacks. I'll share some of my favorite toppings to pick up any salad:
Crumbled Feta Cheese
Diced Red/Yellow/Orange Peppers
Marinated Artichoke Hearts
Dried Cranberries
Fresh Strawberries, Blueberries, or any Berries
Marinated Mushrooms
Garlic Shrimp
Candied Pecans (Trader Joe's has some great ones)
Grilled Zucchini cut in strips
Pumpkin Seeds
Maldon Salt
If the mood strikes I love making taco salads with cheese, peppers, ground beef and tortilla chips on a bed of fresh chopped Romaine or Butter Lettuce and top it with corn salsa and sour cream! Who said salads need to be boring? Tonight's dinner consisted of Romaine lettuce, yellow peppers, sliced strawberries, sliced apples, candied pecans and feta cheese. Sea salt and fresh cracked pepper, didn't even need dressing! I'm open to any suggestions?? Anyone??
