Super Salads extraordinaire
Health kick, diet deliciousness or just good eats--call it what you want, I love super salads and consider myself pretty darn creative with them. I prefer dark greens including spinach, baby kale, spring greens, herb mix and when in a pinch will settle for romaine and iceberg. I would like to experiment with other greens and have garden aspirations for some micro greens and others. The second most important salad component is the dressing and I do prefer my own concoctions usually of some olive oil, balsamic or any favorite new flavored vinegar, garlic pepper salt, sometimes other herb seasonings and voila! Or if I have an urge for creamy dressing, I go with my favorite plain yogurt and mix it with same seasonings, letting it mingle the flavors while I construct my masterpiece. The salad fixins' as some might call them are for me as random and as creative as the contents of my kitchen, sometimes with a theme and sometimes all about the contrast of flavor and texture and yes of course, color. I eat super salads often, maybe not everyday but just about. I am not counting calories but do try to keep in mind how much of the denser foods I have such as nuts, cheese, meats and avocado (not always though as you can see). Okay enough talk, let me show you some of these beauties that lasted mere minutes in this world and therefore deserved a photo. Am I crazy, obsessed and alone in this? Are there any fellow super salad junkies?
