Easy Salad Ideas

10/6/2014

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.

Your salad looks very inviting. I like to vary the textures also, and alongside crispy sprouts to add soft slices of avocado. Thanks for reminding me about snow peas - they always add a good flavour.
