Share the salad love
Apr. 9th, 2008 11:48 amNow that we've been buying romaine lettuce consistently, I eat salad every day or every other day. And now I've become a lover of alfalfa sprouts and mung bean sprouts, so those are a must have. And carrots, of course, chopped baby carrots. And sometimes chopped black olives. And my salads are never complete without mozzarella cheese, any kind. I'll also use avocados if I have them on hand, and cucumbers. If we have asparagus, I'll chop it up happily; it is my number one favorite vegetable (I can eat almost one pound of asparagus in a sitting). If we have mushrooms of any kind, they get chopped up and thrown in. I almost always use olive oil and red wine vinegar for dressing. Although if I have an exotic fruit-based dressing, like pomegranate blueberry, I'll use that. I also love dried berries, especially blueberries. I'm trying to develop a taste for nuts; usually I don't like the taste of any nut. Are there any nuts that don't have a strong flavor?
