So I have a passion for leafy greens. I love them. They make me happy. This salad is happy. It is worth a party in your mouth or in the very least a dance!
There is something exciting for me about making salads. Yes, this is true. I love the challenge of finding a new salad recipe to make. Thinking outside the box when it comes to combining colors, textures and flavors together. In the end...celebration!!
In the past year I have enjoyed experimenting with dressings. Homemade, fresh and full of flavor! So I truly hope you enjoy this one...it's a tangy kinda sweet pop in your mouth.
My rule to making salads: When making salads, add lettuces first, then add dressing. Mix dressing with lettuces. Then add toppings and ONLY mix the top layer of lettuce with the toppings. If you mix and toss the entire salad and the good "Yummies" fall to the bottom, then you don't get the right balance on your plate. And yes, everyone will get "Yummies" with their salad as they serve themselves if you don't toss it all together in the beginning. The toppings naturally fall to the bottom of the bowl. To do this, I take the knife that I am chopping with and stick it in the salad and lift the lettuce up so that it creates air pockets for the toppings to fall into without all of it falling through. I do that a few times. This will also naturally mix the top layer of lettuces with the "Yummies".
So lesson for today: Salad is Exciting, A Mixture of Colors, Textures and Flavors, Deliciousness that makes your taste buds dance and A Science (not a true science, because I never measure things). And FUN!! Love your Salad and Trust me, it will Love you back!!!
