I'm not sure when it begins to happen, that moment that I am done done done with eating another salad green but so far, so good. I find with so many different salad dressings and combinations of ingredients together for the salad, it staves off the boredom of eating greens.
I wasn't sure if my hubby would go for the green onion salad dressing but he was pleasantly surprised, as I was with it. I also thought that the grated cheddar added an interesting touch.

I love salads, but you are right. By the end to middle of summer I get to the point where I just can't face another salad...give me something with a meaty texture! And less resembling rabbit food.
ReplyDeleteThis one looks simple enough to whip up on the fly. I usually always have these ingredients on hand.
Your salad looks yummers Maki! I really should make salad more but I'm just so lazy...yes, tsk tsk. Never heard of green onions dressing before, interesting. Thanks for sharing. Hope you have a lively weekend as well.
ReplyDeleteI love recipes that use simple ingredients that you have on hand.
ReplyDeleteI get lazy with salad too, especially when it comes to washing it. That's why in the winter months I always buy the pre-washed packages.
I love salads! And can I just mention, the photo looks really good. :-) Salad always makes me feel healthy, haha. Because I'm also a heavy meat-eater, I always try to balance my meals by having a salad on the side! thanks for sharing this, now i got another salad recipe to try. If you don't mind I would like to share this as well to other Foodista readers. If you'd just add the foodista widget for sour cream at the end of this post and you're all set, Thanks! and keep it up
