My favorite salads are simple: Mixed Greens ... I like the mixed organic baby greens, or just romaine. Tomato and Red Onion Garbanzos and Chopped Hard Boiled Eggs Sunflower Seeds and Raisins (these are key) Balsamic Dressing (here is the easiest dressing to prepare and likely the finest tasting as well imo) In a blender ... Garlic Red Onion Balsamic Vinegar Salt and Black Pepper Blend till smooth then slowly pour in Olive Oil until the mixture stops spinning. Add a dash of water and Voila! Rule of thumb for Oil to Vinegar ratio is 4 to 1 :) **** For a slightly fancier salad but just as simple- using the same dressing try ... Mixed Greens, Goat Cheese, Tomato and Fresh Basil. Yum!
