Salads to me are great ways to get creative, and also to clean out the fridge!. When you clean out the fridge, however, that doesn't mean you settle for items that are not edible anymore, or not quality!. Leftover rice, rice dishes, leftover roast chicken or steak or any other meat you had for dinner last night, or finfish or shellfish, then there are things like olives and artichoke hearts, seeds and nuts, fruit, and sundried tomatoes, and chickpeas, and well the list goes on and on!. Get creative and combine fresh raw greens, different kinds, mixture of lettuces, or spinach, or other greens at the store, venture over to the cabbage section, try shredded chinese cabbages as well as red and green!. Mix cooked and raw vegetables!. I do that all the time -mixing in (leftover) cooked broccoli or something else with my raw salad veg!. Or various cheeses, and great way to use up leftover pasta!.
And then experiment with your dressing, if you keep a variety of store bought ones in your pantry, go for that, if you're more prone to experiment, have on hand an assortment of oils and vinegars and herbs to mix together!.
There are a variety of salad recipes out there, that are somewhat rigid, like the basic components of a greek salad, or a caesar salad, but aside from those 'specialty' salads, you can do whatever you want with a salad, nobody can tell ya what to or not to put in a salad, as long as you experiment and make sure the various colours/textures/flavours/aromas work together!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
