MIXED GREENS WITH BLUE CHEESE DRESSING
I like to make this dish with whatever greens are in season. In spring, I use tender young greens from my garden, including spinach and Bibb lettuce. This salad is our favorite to serve with a baked chicken casserole. It's also perfect for potlucks-just toss the dressing with vegetables right before serving.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender greens: This will ensure that your salad is crisp and flavorful. Look for greens that are brightly colored and free of blemishes.
- Wash your greens thoroughly: This will remove any dirt or debris. Be sure to dry the greens thoroughly before adding them to the salad, or they will water down the dressing.
- Use a variety of greens: This will add flavor and texture to your salad. Some good choices include romaine lettuce, arugula, spinach, and kale.
- Don't overdress the salad: A little dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing will weigh down the salad and make it soggy.
- Serve the salad immediately: This will prevent the greens from wilting. If you need to make the salad ahead of time, store the dressing and greens separately and assemble the salad just before serving.
Conclusion:
Mixed greens with blue cheese dressing is a classic salad that is both delicious and nutritious. It is a great way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables, and it is also a good source of protein and calcium. With its creamy, tangy dressing, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
