My everyday go-to salad. Thank you. -
Straightforward and unencumbered basic tossed salad. In the next few weeks I'll be having heirloom tomatoes and lemon cucumbers from our garden ready to use in this salad! A simple light vinaigrette of red wine vinegar and extra virgin olive oil worked nicely. Thanks for posting. cg -
You can't go wrong with this simple salad. I used bagged iceberg lettuce that also had some shredded carrot and red cabbage in place of the head lettuce. The salad was served with Italian dressing. Made for the Summer Salad Snapshot Event. -
VERY SIMPLE, VERY TASTY! Lends itself to all kinds of possibilities, but it's a great salad just the way it is! [Tagged, made & reviewed for Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup tag] -

Both my Wife and i love to cook, and we love to eat, so our premium membership with this site is a partnership made by the Gods. i am a short order cook by trade, and my Wife is a published movie reviewer. We both administrate our small non profit from home, which allows us to cook more often than other couples, but we still don't have a lot of time to prepare complicated meals.
RecipeZaar is the best for anyone who wants a quick recipe, or needs to learn about a complicated piece of kitchen equipment...and anything in between. :) We LOVE it here!
my sweet Wife has been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. i'm still learning how to cook for Her, so that Her Forever will pace with mine.
i change my user name often. sorry, but i bore easily. oh, and just to warn people, i've donated my hair to locks for love, so it's short now ... VERY short. new photos will come soon.
