I am learning the key to enjoying salads is to google. Google kind of makes my world go 'round...I'd go as far to say that I am a google expert. I actually have friends and family who call me and ask me questions because they know I rock at the internet. I may try to market myself someday and charge money for this, that's how good I am. Ok, anyway. Enough bragging. Find out what other people like. Allrecipes.com is a great resource. I am not a salad eater. I have only ever eaten Caesar salads and have never appreciated trying new strange things on salads. Like currants. What the heck are currants? Well, thanks to me being adventurous, I discovered they are kind of like a mix between grapes and cherries, only the ones I had are dried like raisins. Good stuff, I tell ya! So yes, to the point...earlier in the week I had a bad salad...I thought using parmasean, bacon and strawberries would be good...but it was very much not good. To avoid making the same mistake again I googled and found some pretty yummy salads. My favorite make-at-home salad has been hearts of romaine tossed with Annie's raspberry vinagrette dressing, topped with chopped walnuts, feta cheese and sliced apples. This was one of the best salads I ever had. I don't have money to buy ingredients for new salads all the time, so I will try to buy stuff for 1 new type of salad a week.
My other new make at home food was salmon. I've always been really leary of cooking fish in my home. I've made tilapia before, but anything else I've tried has been a horrible failure. Luckily I bought the pre-marinated frozen salmon and it's awesome! I will get more adventurous and buy fresh soon, but as of now I am eating salmon daily so it's nice to always have some! Pics to be posted soon!
