The folks who put washed lettuce in bags are brilliant!!
I like to get pretty creative with my salads. Depending what's on hand I might add
strawberries
toasted almonds, pine nuts or sunflower seeds
avocado
cheese (feta, or goat, or whatever)
fresh herbs
pitted olives
grated carrot - I don't like slices because they fall to the bottom of the bowl and I like my salad integrated (OK, so I really am weird!)
mushroomsand sometimes I like to have salads of just one or two things: grated carrot with toasted sunflower seeds in a vinaigrette; tomato, fresh basil and sweet onion with balsamic vinegar and olive oil; cucumber with dill, black pepper and vinegar; or cucumber with garlic in sour cream and pepper.
I LOVE SALAD.
