Ideas for a salad?!
New to a neighbourhood and having a lobster dinner with a few of the neighbours!. Its my job to bring the salad, I was thinking of using:
- a romaine/iceberg lettuce mix
- cucumbers
- tomatoes
- almonds
- craisins
- marble cheese
with a balsamic vinagrette dressing
Does that sound good!? Add/delete any ingredients!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

Sorry!.!.!.!.!.!.but it sounds really boring to me!. also sounds like a salad you'd serve with a steak!. Why not do something different and creative!? Bring something that will make your new neighbors want to invite you back!.!.!.!.
How about romaine lettuce with chopped apples (dip in lemon juice to keep from browning), toasted English walnuts or cashews, crumbled blue cheese and a poppy seed dressing!.
A favorite in my neighborhood is what I call spring salad!.!.!. it's light and refreshing and would go beautifully with something delicate like lobster!. Again, take a bowl of romaine then artfully arrange on top !.!.!. sliced fresh strawberries, toasted sliced almonds, mandarin orange sections, sliced green onions (add some of the green as well) Then, right before you serve it, toss it with a nice raspberry vinaigrette!. Our friends and family love it!.

Sounds good!.!.!. but since the Craisins are in there, you could carmelize the almonds (stir them in a frying pan with sugar, until the sugar melts & coats the almonds), and use a Raspberry Walnut Vignarette dressing!. !.!.!. I'm also not sure if I'd like a marble cheese with vignarette dressing (of any kind)!. I think a mild mozzarella, provolone or jack might be better !.!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
It sounds pretty good to me!. I make a similar one with butter lettuce, and instead of balsamic vinaigrette (which I do love!) I've been using champagne vinaigrette from the store!. However, if I had your salad as is, I'd love it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Sounds pretty tasty!. I would drop the cukes, but that is personal preference!. Try a bolder cheese, like feta!. Marble might get lost in the crowd!. Good luck!Www@FoodAQ@Com
It sounds good to me, don't forget the salt and pepper after adding the dressing (mix well) and perhaps some Parmesan cheese croutons!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Add some Avacado and corn!.!.!.!.very chic!Www@FoodAQ@Com
All seem OK but for the craisins, where do they come from!.!.!. Spok land!?!?!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
