Salad Suggestions


This isn't so much of a recipe as a suggestion for salad toppings. Adam's parents had come for a visit and we ended up buying way too much food for our fondue night and picnic in wine country. We had to be creative in finding ways to use the food in new and interesting ways. The first of these was a salad. We topped salad greens with apple pieces, sliced watermelon radish, blue cheese, steamed asparagus, and homemade croutons. I had a little bit of cubed tofu on my salad for some protein while Adam had sauteed shrimp. Adam sauteed the shrimp with minced garlic, then added a splash of white wine and chopped parsley. The croutons were made in a similar way by placing cubed bread in a saute pan with olive oil and a pad of butter, a bit of garlic, a splash of white wine, and parsley. All I can say is that the options for salad are endless, and here are just a few more suggestions that you may want to add to your repertoire.
