MY FAVORITE TOSSED SALAD
I came up with this combination as a teen and it has always been my favorite. You can use any salad dressing of your choice and top with boiled eggs, sunflower seeds, cheese, croutons, bacon bits or whatever you choose. My preference with this one...just serve it like it is. The juices from the tomatoes are all the dressing I require! It is very colorful, light and refreshing! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

SPRINGTIME TOSSED SALAD
"I first sampled a version of this salad at a restaurant, then I experimented until I came up with a lightened-up dressing that tasted great," writes Laura Kopp of Shiocton, Wisconsin. "Raspberry juice gives a nice fruity flavor to the mixed greens. This is one of my family's favorite summer dishes, which I often serve with whole grain crusty rolls. The salad is extremely quick to toss together."

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the salad will taste. Look for crisp lettuce, ripe tomatoes, and flavorful herbs.
- Choose a variety of textures and colors: This will make your salad more visually appealing and interesting to eat. Some good options include crunchy croutons, soft avocado, and bright bell peppers.
- Don't overdress your salad: A little dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing will weigh down the salad and make it soggy.
- Let your salad rest before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together and the dressing to soak into the ingredients.
