My favorite salad is the one I make myself. I like to use a mix of spring mix and baby spinach as my base. I realize spring mix has baby spinach already, but I like a bit more than what is in there. Anyway, then I usually chop up a bunch of whatever we have in the house. Celery, carrots, etc.
When I like to get really fancy, I make what I call my "rainbow salad". Has every color of the rainbow! Green from the mix, orange from carrots, red from red pepper (although I'm not a fan of peppers so need to find something else), yellow from apples, purple from purple cabbage, and blue from blueberries. And of course celery and other things. I also like to have hard-boiled eggs in there. Oh yeah! Tomatoes are red, I'm such a dunce sometimes. Ironically, I hardly ever have tomatoes in my salads, not sure why.
And my favorite dressing is my own home-made lemon vinaigrette, yum. Of the bottled kind, I like ranch.
