From-scratch French-style dressing is a bold topping that suits the hearty ingredients in this salad. When I make it to share at a get-together, I never have any left over. I take the salad and dressing in disposable containers and come home happily empty-handed. -Myra Innes, Auburn, Kansas

Tips:

  • Variety is key: Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of greens in your salad. This will add flavor and texture.
  • Add some crunch: Adding some crunchy vegetables, such as carrots, celery, or cucumbers, will add texture and contrast to your salad.
  • Don't forget the protein: Salads are a great way to get protein. Add some grilled chicken, fish, or tofu to your salad for a complete meal.
  • Go easy on the dressing: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing can weigh down your salad and make it soggy.
  • Make your own dressing: Homemade dressings are healthier and more flavorful than store-bought dressings. There are many different recipes for salad dressings online, so you can find one that suits your taste.
  • Serve your salad immediately: Salads are best when served immediately after they are made. This will prevent the greens from wilting and the dressing from soaking into the greens.
