Now it may sound boring to you, but I love salads. In fact, I take a homemade salad to work almost every single day. For some people, this would get really monotonous really fast, but not me! I like to mix up what I put in my salads- from greens, to pastas, to fruits and nuts- salads can really be quite versatile and nutritious if you just use a little creativity. My one problem with all this salad eating, however, is what to put on top!
Salad dressing bores me. We have a couple in the house, and they taste fine, but I'm always shocked to see how high they are in fat. This realization has brought me to the salad dressing challenge for the week! Can I be more creative than just using the same old dressing out of the bottle everyday? Thus is the challenge.
For the first day of my adventure, I made a salad with romaine lettuce + carrots + tomatoes + avocado, and a very simple vinaigrette. I mixed a little olive oil, with a little balsamic, and added some crushed pepper. Done and done. It was an easy dressing to go with my simple salad. So far, so good. Let the challenge commence!
