What do you put in your salad? *Best Answer*?!
Answers:
I like red cabbage, carrots, craisins, fried onions, cucumber, boiled egg, spinach, colby or other cheese, tomatoes.
Here is a recipe for a very different salad that I often take to dinner parties. The dressing is delicious mixed with the almonds. If you don't have time to mix the different types of lettuce, just use your favorite bagged salad and add the almonds and dressing with the fruit. Yummy and always a hit! Enjoy...
