What do you put in your tossed salad?

[Tinks]

I need ideas because I'm not the best cook

[~clover~]

I like mixed salad leaves, tomatoes, cucumber, capsicum, sometimes carrot & cheese.
Celery can be good too, but I don't eat it.
Then I use balsamic dressing...yum!

That's exactly what I made tonight!

Iceberg lettuce, tomato, cucumber, onions, grated cheese, feta and sometimes some sweetpepper or peppadews. I'll also do the trio-of-sprout-thingies and avo if it's a special occasion.

And I love my honey-mustard dressing.

... everyone loves how i always sprinkle some raw pine nuts on (when not lazy i roast them under the griller)

(me too Emma ... i love the Taste website and i also always use Cos lettuce over any other lettuce, semi-dried toms & lebanese cucumber has that extra bite to it )

yeah I do as many above has suggested, though have never used nuts. Went to a bbq on Fri night & they had toasted pine nuts in the tossed salad YUMMY!! will try that next time.

Rouge - that sounds soooo yummy....silly question but "peanut chicken"?

[Pandora]

baby spinach leaves
cubed cooked sweet potato
seed mix (ie sesame, suflower, pumpkin) toasted OR cashews
marinated mushrooms
artichoke hearts
grape tomatoes

I dress with an olive oil/balsamic mix.

Sometimes I add cubed cooked tofu also.

Tonight I'm making an asian salad because I'm bbq'ing peanut chicken to be sliced on top...

It will be:
Chinese cabbage
Coriander leaves
Spring onions
Baby spinach
Julienned Carrot

Sweet Chilli dressing:
1 tbs sweet chilli sauce
1 tbs rice vinegar
1 tbs fish sauce
2 tsp vegetable oil


And then I'll toss it all together and plate it up individually and top with sliced bbq peanut chicken.

I would have put sliced snow peas and bean shoots but they had no peas and that distracted me from remembering the shoots LOL!

I also chuck in avocado, trio sprout thingies (I think you get alfalfa, snow pea sprouts and mung beans) and shallots...mmmm yummy!
