What do you like on your salad?

Mmmmm salad

For the base: Leafy greens: mesclun mix/spring greens...spinach! Anything but iceberg...no nutrients....at all

Added in: everything and anything that won't run away...I especially love:
Fresh peas, fresh mushrooms, garbanzo beans, sunflower seeds, hot peppers, FRESH GOOD olives, particularly the ones with the pit in them (*kalamata mmm),
I love any veggie except broccoli...the little thingies get stuck in my throat (or I IMAGINE they will)

And on top: I'm partial to home made type pumpernickel croutons (like Ruby Tuesday has) and a light, subtle but tasty dressing...I like Newman's Own dressings...there's one with ginger that will make your mouth sing. And I love a nice herby (dilly) cucumber dressing...like tzatziki...embellished...or sun dried tomato dressing...there's also an Italian dressing at Whole Foods (their brand) that I find to be divinity...I marinate just cukes and tomatoes in it and have it for a snack/lunch/dinner
