Dark green leafy stuff; spinach, lettuce, bitter greens ect.
Nuts and seeds; sunflower, sesame, almonds, cashews ect.
Some sweet: craisins or raisins or fruit of some kind, pineapple, apple, strawberries
Some crunch; dried won tons, Chinese noodles, croutons
sprouts of any kind
Cheese; feta and Parmesan are my favorites
Dressing; I like to use my pampered chef salad dressing maker and adjust the sugar to agave or stevia, along with a healthy oil. Asian, Poppy seed, French, Honey Mustard are some of my favorites.
Today my invention was about 3 cups of spinach, 1/2 cup brown rice warmed up just a bit,a sprinkle of feta cheese, won tons, sunflower seeds, crasins, alfalfa sprouts, and the rest of my sprout mix. I used a poppy seed dressing. I put it in a bowl and mix it all together. This was a whole meal all on its own and very filling.
Pass on your inventions!! Happy Salad making :)
