It is hot, and we need some dinner/ side salad recipes! We are trying to eat healthier, but I am not very well versed at it. I am not a salad enficianato (sp?) but would really love to be! (I am sure I can't be the only one?) Would you share some of your delicous, fresh salad recipes!?

Cat, I am just curious as to what kinds of salads people eat. I have NO imagination when it comes to salad, but would love to serve them in my home more often. I just open a bag, add some chives and maybe raisins, and that's it. Yawn

Here are a few:
I love Coleslaw and have lots of different recipes for them. The one I pick depends on time I have to prepare it and the ending flavor I want to go with the rest of the meal. Two of our favorites are a Regular coleslaw that I make my own dressing for and another one is a German style with hot oil and vinegar among other itmes in the dressing. If you want those recipes let me know. But the following one is a QUICK coleslaw I make sometimes; it is good and works for the quick time!'
Quick Coleslaw
Shred 1 small head of cabbage. Cut into small pieces 3 stalks of celery,and 1/2 cup green pepper. Chop up 1 small onion. Blend together. Using either homemade or bought coleslaw dressing (3/4 cup) add 1/2 tsp celery seed, and 1/4 tsp salt. Toss the dressing mixture with the vegetables and refrigerate at least a couple hours; stir and serve.
I also make different types of salads again depending on the rest of the meal, some have fruit in them and some are different lettuces with different vegetables added and different dressings instead of just store bought. Let me know if you want me to include others here, no problem!

( Spinach Salad is good too... Just baby spinach leaves, hard-boiled eggs, bacon crumbles and shredded mozzerella cheese. I use a bottled poppy-seed dressing. Very good.)
