Today with dinner, I had a salad. . . It was simple ice burg lettuce, cherry tomatoes, and mozzarrella cheese and a poppyseed dressing. It was light and comforting.

I also love my loaded salads. Croutons, bacon pieces, lots of cheeses, even sun flowers or pecans. . The combinations are endless. . .each salad is its own piece of edible art. It is a fun, mostly healthy enjoyable piece of meal.

I grew up with having side salad at meals with extended family. I have always enjoyed them, sometimes they are my favourite part of the meal.
