Question

Most people think that salad is boring. I hope that I can change your mind with some ideas for making your next salad a feast!
First, you need your greens. Iceberg lettuce is the most common one people use, but it's not nearly as healthy as darker green lettuce. I like to use baby spinach—the leaves are small and tender.
Next, add some protein to make the salad a meal. I like to use chunks of cooked chicken and some kind of cheese, usually shredded. It's the crunch of a salad that makes it exciting. Try broccoli, shredded carrots for color and crunch, or maybe some zucchini.
Finally, add some excitement—some chopped nuts, sliced scallions, some raisins or dried cranberries, even some chunks of mango or orange for sweetness. Add your favorite dressing, and you've got a celebration in a bowl!
