If you eat a lot of salads , some eat one everyday for either lunch or dinner, hopefully not breakfast! =) An average person who isn’t on a diet then they may eat salads on average one or two times a week. These people can still get bored. They might welcome some new ways to make a salad.
To make a different type of salad that tastes different we put different things in them and we’ll have great salad.
One way to get a more unique salad by adding pears.
They make your salad taste better and give it some better. There are two types of pears that go great with your salad such as Anjou pears and a yellow Bartlett pears.
You can of course take the pear out of the fruit basket, wash it and cut up and put on your salad. You can also poach or roast pears.
You can also add dried cranberries
Or those little cranberry/raisins things that I believe are called Craisins which are extra delicious. Or you can just add raisins to your salad without cranberries. Either way makes a great salad!
To be really different and extra yummy try a seedless grapes. Try all green grapes
red grapes only
or both red and green ones pulled off their stem and tossed in the salad.
Try an apple for color and taste. Cut them up as if you were making an apple pie ( know you wished I gave you my mom’s world famous apple pie recipe but I am talking about salads here and anyway she won’t give me the recipe ! =) If you want a colorful salad, say for a party in the summer, then use a red apple.
along with green apples
or just one color each it is up to you.
Another good idea I just thought of is blueberries you can even buy frozen ones in the winter and thaw them out. But it’s almost summer you can probably find fresh ones now or very soon.
Sunflower seeds
Try a different dressing each time you have a salad. Tomorrow for dinner have a French dressing then the next time time have ranch. And there are a multitude of types of salad dressings. Keep a variety of dressings on hand and use whatever one you are in the mood for,
The last idea is to cook chicken breast and take the meat and put it on top lettuce.
Or you can put steak or salmon over it. For the meats, cook the meat before you put it on the salad. Then put other traditional salad ingredients including a hard boiled egg. The top it all off with french fries. I think it is a regional thing but every restaurant around my house sells steak and chicken salads. and almost every place puts french fries on it then add dressing!
