Salads are the base of my meal, usually I'll have cabbage, zucchini, tomatoes/bell peppers, little mix of frozen vegetables and something to add protein like cheese, fish, beans or tofu. Even though I eat salads all year round, they are especially a summer food! No heavy dishes in this heat!Heidinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5467092142877590947.post-74055915056987500162010-07-05T15:22:10.179-04:002010-07-05T15:22:10.179-04:00my favorite dressing is Catalina....wow!! your sal...my favorite dressing is Catalina....wow!! your salad looks like a hybrid cobb....also my favorite.....it just looks so darn good!<br />thanks for sharing<br />DennisChef Dennis Littleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05388059515828451861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5467092142877590947.post-50658310615176495432010-07-05T14:24:02.476-04:002010-07-05T14:24:02.476-04:00love the red bean salad portion of yours.
