I’m no salad dodger, I love them!
This week my salad base contains…
Spring onion (scallions)
Pumpkin seeds
Soya beans
Sliced red onion
Bean sprouts
Baby carrot
Red seedless grapes
Celery
Shredded Cucumber
Cos lettuce
Baby spinach leaves
Baby plumb tomatoes
Pitted green olives
Cooked beetroot
Chopped salad tomatoes
On top of that I have different toppings, today is turkey, tomorrow Feta & black olives, etc…
Any Ideas of what to add to the base salad, to make it even better/more interesting/more seasonal?

I use a Mesclun mix and baby spinach as the base with pea shoots, cucumber, carrots, button mushrooms, red onion and celery. Then I usually top it with either chicken or tuna0

sweetcorn? I always have some of that0

i've started cooking my own pinto beans in the crock pot, and adding about 1/2 a cup to my salads. lots of fiber and potassium and no sodium (unless you're adding it!).0

Some good ideas! I may try some Jalapeno peppers too!
Any more ideas?0 -
I always always add fresh corriander, rocket and peppers to my salad for flavour.... these feed my pallet well0
