A Perfect House Salad

I just had to share this recipe. It's so simple and easy but my oldest daughter added so many delicious vegetables to make this so good and picture-perfect. The colours were amazing! 

Perfect House Salad

Ingredients:

        Romaine Lettuce, torn into edible size

        Red cabbage, chopped into strips

        Cherry Tomatoes, cut in half

        Broccoli Tops, cut into bite-size

        Cucumber, sliced and quartered

        Carrots, shredded

Directions:

1. Combine the ingredients in whatever order and amount you prefer.
2. Top with your favourite dressing and topping. I love Greek vinaigrette topped with Blue Cheese crumbles, with croutons.

 Enjoy!

Antipasto salad

My family absolutely loves my take on the traditional antipasto salad. I always have to make large batches to last several days. The biggest benefit is that the portion that sits in the refrigerator longest tastes best after the flavours have been melding for days.
