How Many Salads Can You Love?

Now that you can make a Vinaigrette, let's talk about the many different ways to use them.

Here are three samples of salads I have made recently.  They are colorful, fresh, healthy and taste wonderful.   

Grated raw beets are lovely as a salad. 

Add a Vinaigrette to some cooked beans and you have a Quick and Easy Salad!

Mix a variety of vegetables with cooked wild rice, add a Vinaigrette and you have a Delicious Salad!

If you need a recipe, here's one for a Beet Salad.

Beet Salad
Salad Ingredients:
3 medium fresh beets
Vinaigrette Ingredients:
1 Tbsp lemon juice from a fresh lemon
1 tsp. Dijon Mustard
1 tsp. minced fresh herb (dill, parsley, thyme)
1 minced clove garlic
3 Tbsp. Olive Oil


Peel 3 medium sized beets.  Using a food processor or large side of a grater, grate the entire beet into a bowl.
In a small bowl, a jar with a screw-on lid, or the food processor, combine your dressing ingredients and mix well.  Use a whisk or a fork if using a bowl, and whisk vigorously to get the oil and vinegar to mix.  Pour over grated beets and mix. 

Serve this with a grilled chicken breast for a big punch of color on the plate.  Give this a try and everyone will be talking about how creative and colorful your salads are!
