I need a recipe for a salad?Quick!!!!?

It has to be simple and not sweet.I need a recipe for a salad?Quick!!!!?
In a hurry, I like to put together ';Three bean salad';. I go to my cupboard and grab a can of kidney or chili beans, a can of green beans and a can of yellow (wax) beans, drain them and put them into a large bowl with a small diced onion.


For the dressing I mix a half cup sugar and a half cup vinegar with a half cup salad oil and some seasonings ( usually salt, pepper, garlic powder and a tiny bit of basil). Mix all of this together and top with parsley, or dried parsley flakes.


Yummm :o)I need a recipe for a salad?Quick!!!!?

I am really into this arugula salad lately. It is very easy....ok, get arugula, You need a couple of lemons, squeeze the juice from the lemons, add a tiny (very tiny) bit of olive oil and shake well. Drizzle over the arugula, toss in pine nuts and some goat cheese (or parmesan, or feta, any cheese is good!) That is it. You can also vary it by adding dried cranberries, or fresh rasberries....or poached pears, or chopped up pears.....





It is super easy, nice and fresh tasting for summer.

Easy Greek Salad





Ingredients


6 romaine lettuce leaves, torn into 1-1/2-inch pieces


1 medium cucumber, peeled and sliced


1 medium tomato, chopped


1/2 cup sliced red onion


1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese


2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil


2 tablespoons lemon juice


1 teaspoon dried oregano

romaine, baby lettuce mix, sliced green apples, walnuts, feta cheese, lemon, olive oil, garlic,salt pepper for dressing or romaine lettuce, make a fresh salsa: tomatoes, onions, cilantro, jalapeno, add some fruits, pineapple or watermelon, or nectarines, lemon juice, olive oil, cumin, salt pepper for dressing
1 head iceberg, cleaned and chopped


1 small can ranch style beans, drained


1 can sliced black olives, drained


1 sweet onion, cleaned and chopped


1 ripe tomato, cleaned and diced


1 ripe avocado, cleaned and diced


1 cup grated yellow cheese (I like sharp cheddar)


1-2 cups Fritoes corn chips


Creamy cucumber salad dressing





Mix all together. Serve immediately. It's a balanced meal all by itself since the beans are a 'protein,' the cheese is 'dairy,' the fritoes count as a 'grain' or 'bread' exchange, the lettuce and onion are 'vegetables' and the avocado and tomato are technically FRUITS (not vegetables) b/c they have seeds.





Enjoy!
