I’ll admit it—I really don’t like salads. It’s not that they don’t taste OK— it’s just that they don’t fill me up and seem so boring, bland and unappetizing. Well, it could just be MY salads, but regardless.
So, when I actually made a salad that I liked, I couldn’t resist sharing it with you!
This recipe is inspired by my friend Gina. At her wedding, she had a delicious salad that I actually crave to this day. So, here’s the ingredients for my version (include as little or as much of each as you like):
- Sweet Baby Lettuces
- Grape Tomatoes
- Shredded Carrots
- Your Favorite Trail Mix (I got one with pistachios, walnuts, pecans, cranberries, cherries, and raisins)
- Croutons
- Feta
- Cranberry Vinaigrette
I heated up the trail mix on the stove with a little sugar and butter until it got nice and warm and slightly caramelized. Then, I mixed all the salad ingredients together and tossed with the dressing. This salad is the right combination of sweet and savory. Give it a try! Let me know what you think.
What’s your favorite salad?
