With the holidays fast approaching, it's important for me to remember to eat healthy meals.
There is usually so much "junk" available that fruits and veggies can easily take a back seat.
One present I plan to give myself this holiday season is to eat lots of salad. There are so many hundreds of yummy kinds that one certainly does not have to feel deprived.
While traveling last month, I ate salad a lot. Roasted beet salad (shown above) sounded intriguing to me and, quite honestly, it tasted absolutely delicious. Roasting the beets made them sweet. The salad also had pistachios and chevre (goat cheese) mousse. This salad could easily be duplicated at home.

Looks yummy to me...I am going to try and hit salads this week. Have lots of greens and will throw in an apple and curried pecans. Also some raw pumpkin seeds will be a nice addition!
Im thinking turkey salad with dried cranberries, feta cheese and almonds. It will be so nice to flush out all the heavy stuff from the last few days!
Beautiful pics!
Those look so yummy. I really need to be eating better.. a salad is on the menu tomorrow! Hope all is well Susan!
It's amazing how easy it is to create something incredible with a salad with just a dash of imagination!
A local restaurant, Avoca, has revolutionised food and in particular salads here over the last few years, and they have now gone global with beautiful books. Salads will never be the same here!!
Yes, there's nothing nicer than a shot of fresh salad in the midst of all the wintry comfort food!
I love salad, and don't know why I don't eat more. You have encouraged me.
One of my favorite salads are romaine, chick peas, dried cranberries, yellow peppers and lite balsamic vinaigrette.
Asian salad: lettuce, carrots, pineapple, nuts, and oriental dressing (I think it has honey, mustard, sesame and some sort of vinegar). Delicious!! That's my favorite at a local salad bar place.
Salads are indeed a good option: nutritious, delicious, and easy to make!
have a great day!
I have several salad recipes that I use over and over again. I just had a salad tonite topped with corn and feta cheese. Didn't get to eat until 9:30 pm after my day of running around like crazy. Now it is off to bed. Have a great rest of the day. :) Tammy
I eat so much greenery, it's amazing I don't turn green! I love, love salads..and fresh baked Italian breads.....the combination is amazing!
mushrooms, green onions, pressed garlic, basil, oregano, extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, grape tomatoes, feta cheese, sundried black olives, seasame seeds, fennel seeds....a little salt and pepper...and pickled hot peppers too...and voila...it's my 'everyday' salad!
my casual salad favourite is...eating fresh green soft buttery lettuce leaves with leftover homemade pizza...I mean literally stuffing my face with one huge leaf at a time, with one bite of pizza role.....
I live on lettuce!
thanks for asking!
