Guest guest Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 Salad meal Often times I make a salad into a whole meal. I just love it made this way and it isn't loaded with high calories from a salad dressing. You won't miss it when you make it this way and man will you love it made this way. Here is what I add. Spring Mix Lettuce or Romaine Lettuce chopped - Wash and spin completely dry. Chopped, broccoli, Bell Pepper. Cauliflower, carrots, celery, cucumbers, tomatoes. Mix all of this together well Then set up a Toppings Station with, a can of sliced beets, can of garbonzos, kidney beans, can of Baby Corns, Baco bits, bowl of crutons, a can of Artichoke hearts in water, olives, both green and black, spring onions or mild red onions, crumbled Feta Cheese and grated Parmasean cheese.(omit if Vegan) A can of Tony Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning. Each individual person can make their own plate up. I put a plate full of the salad and then add toppings of choice from the above. I personally add it all. I spoon in some of the olive juice, juice in the beans, and from the artichokes all over the salad. Those juices become my dressing. Hemp seeds are also good sprinkle on this. Also some toasted pecans, pine nuts or almonds would be great with this. Sprinkle lightly with the Tony Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning and gently toss the salad together. If I decide to use Ranch dressing I also add crumbled up saltine crackers to the top of my salad, instead of crutons. It is soooooooooo good.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 I like how you set up a " salad bar " . It sounds like the kids might have more fun with it this way rather than thinking they're just eating a salad. Thanks for the idea.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 Mmmm! Last night I made a really good salad with romaine lettuce, tomatoes, black olives, grated carrot, green onion, red cabbage, and Salad Toppins. And of course some lite Italian dressing. I'm turning into a real pig for salad. And nuts. I got a whole bag of walnuts and I've eaten nearly half the bag in two days! Hey, I bet those would be good in a salad.... will try that later! I never thought of adding beans to a salad. That is a good idea. darranged wrote: Can I just say YUM >Salad meal >Often times I make a salad into a whole meal.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Yes toasted walnuts, do this in a dry frying pan on med. heat, stirring often, would be great on a salad. I really love them in Waldorf salad. Your salad sound good. Try the beans in your salad. I think you'll love it and it makes it more filling too. Most salad bars have one or the other of the two I mentioned. Some of the better ones have both. Sometimes those salad bars have cooked green peas, that are cooled. That is good too.
