Category Archives: Salads

There are the classic recipes for salads that you can make, but the best way to make a salad is to use what you have. The versatility of a salad is what makes it so good! Most people get bored with making the same lettuce, tomatoe salad and I think they stop making the salad entirely because of boredom. Stop! Stop! Stop!
You need to add at least 7 ingredients to a salad, or your salads will start to be the same night after night. The 7 ingredient rule pushes you to look further into your refrigerator or pantry for additional items and this extra push keeps the salad fun to eat every night.
Ingredient possibilities are endless: Think beyond lettuces and herbs, pasta, beans, canned vegetables, pickled and marinated goodies, nuts, seeds, cheese, crackers and croutons… You get the idea.
