Salad Days?

[Medusa]

I guess you can call this a salad, I dunno. When I cleaned houses, I brown bagged it and I had to eat light or I'd get weighed down and then lazy and had difficulty finishing the house. And mixed greens just don't stay crisp enough for me. So I'd pack sweet cherry tomatoes and chunks of cucumber, red onion and skim mozzarella string cheese. The strip cheese didn't get stringy; it mixed in really well w/the other ingredients. I added light red wine and olive oil dressing, a little garlic salt and white pepper. Light enough to keep me on my feet; yummy enough that I was satisfied. Mmmm, I think I'll make some for dinner.

I get that iceberg mix at costco and add drained canned garbanzo beans and some ranch dressing and a bit of fresh parmesan.

Just remembered another good salad: crunchy pea salad.

Mix together :
one 16 oz. package of thawed frozen peas
1 cup dry roasted peanuts or cashews
1 cup chopped celery
6 strips of very crisp bacon, broken into small pieces
1/4 cup chopped onion

Then mix:
1/2 cup of mayo (I use low fat)
1/4 cup of Zesty Italian dressing

Pour the salad dressing mixture over the other ingredients and blend.

Yummy!
