One of the best parts of eating salad can be the mix of flavors and textures in your mouth. My favorites include cooked edamame, sunflower sprouts, brown rice, tofu and fresh greens. When it's just me cooking for myself, I think about what's easy - which is often to toss the greens with a little salt and lemon juice and then lay leftovers (rice, beans, pasta) on top. It can be fun to throw in some fresh fruit or slice some snow peas on the bias or shave a vegetable like cucumber into ribbons. That's what we did in a class this spring that yielded this photo of strawberry cucumber salad. Erin Gleeson from The Forest Feast took the photo and led a workshop on food photography.
