Answer 4

There's tons of salads, but for a DIFFERENT salad, just do a fruit salad and toss it with ... ready? Poppy Seed Dressing. I serve it at bbq's all the time. PEOPLE LOVE IT!!!! Poppy Seed Dressing is very sweet, but also a little tangy. It's very good. I must be hungry right now cause it sounds good and I just thought typing this that... bacon bits (real bacon bits) would be good scattered on it.

Answer 5

A friend of mine makes very creative green salads. One of my favorite things that she did was put pasta into the green salad. I thought it was unusual when I saw it but it was delicious! Just get some vegetables that you don't usually have and throw them in!

Another salad that's really easy is tomato, feta cheese, and basil, dressed with olive oil.

Answer 6

Feta-cheese over diced water-melon. mmmmm. Sounds weird but it's genius.

Also, ditch the lettuce for leafey things. Put oil and lemon juice on your salad, and throw in some toasted almonds and pomegranate for a new yummy and healthy kick.

Answer 7

go to the supermarket and find the things you like an put them in a salad. Really simple =0P

feta cheese
asparagus
spanish onion
olives
tomato
cucumber
mushrooms
snow peas

nice dressing is oil, balasmic vinegar, honey and seeded mustard.

Answer 8

Baby spinach, mandarine oranges and red onion with a raspberry vinagrette dressing

or

Any combination of chopped fresh fruit (I like it served over plain yogurt)

or

Fresh mozzarella cheese (the kind packed in water) chopped into small chunks, basil finely chopped, and tomato chopped. Mix all together and dress with an olive oil, balsamic vinegar combo. Season with salt and lots of pepper.

or

Broccolli florets, cut up bacon, red onion, shredded cheddar cheese, diced apples, and raisins in a dressing of mayo, a bit of sugar and some red vinegar. Mix it all together and let sit in fridge overnight.

or

Lettuce (I prefer green leaf and butter), crumbled gorgonzola cheese, chopped pears (canned is fine if you don't have fresh), and maybe some toasted pecans thrown in. Dressed with Italian or oil/vinegar.

All very yummy and super easy!

Answer 9

Answer 10

My new favorite goes like this -

Baby Spinach leaves (I remove the stems)
Dried Cranberries
Slivered Almonds (spread on plate, sprinkle w/ tsp of Sugar and microwave for 2 minutes)
Thinly sliced apples (Fuji's are the best)

Brianna's Poppyseed Dressing

I just eyeball how much of each to put in, stir the dressing over it and let it sit for 30 minutes before serving.
