A Healthy Salad Recipe
Will Brighten Your Day

Who needs a healthy salad recipe? You do.

At my house, we usually throw together whatever greens and vegetables we have on hand; add some nuts or left-over salmon, and it's dinner!

But I do have favorite combinations that we make on a regular basis.

This one is probably at the top of my list. I call it:

Turkey Sandwich Salad

First, make the dressing. Mix together and set aside:

1/4 cup unsweetened olive oil vinaigrette (or "Italian" dressing)
1/4 cup stoneground mustard

Next, stir-fry 1/2 pound of turkey bacon, cut into small pieces.

While the bacon is cooking, cut up the salad:

2 Hearts of Romaine, torn into bite-sized pieces
1/2 small onion, very thinly sliced
1 medium tomato, cut into 1/2 inch wedges
8 - 12 pitted Kalamata olives, cut in half
1 or 2 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup pecans

Toss everything, including the dressing, together (Julia Child always said "28 times" for a thorough mixing). Divide onto two plates, then, take

1 medium sized, ripe avocado

Cut it in half, remove the pit, and separate the peel from the fruit. Lay the peeled avocado half flat side down on the cutting board; cut into 1/4 inch slices.

"Moosh" the slices over, like you're toppling dominoes, then slide your knife under and place the avocado on the salad.

Grind some fresh pepper and Celtic salt over all, if desired.

Beautiful!

Here's a healthy salad recipe with more of an international flair:

Indonesian Salad

Combining fruit and vegetables in this salad may seem unusual but it is delicious. The beans provide enough protein to make it a complete meal when served with whole grain rolls or brown rice.

1 cup cantaloupe chunks
1 cup pineapple chunks(fresh or canned in juice, drained)
1 1/2 cups broccoli florets
1 cup sweet red pepper, cut into 1 inch squares
1/2 cup celery, chopped
15 ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
2 Tbs. light molasses
2 Tbs. lemon or pineapple juice
1 Tbs. water
1 1/2 Tbs. reduced sodium soy sauce

1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/8 tsp. crushed red pepper
1/2 cup peanuts, whole or finely chopped

Combine all fruits and vegetables in large bowl.
In small bowl stir together the molasses and all remaining ingredients except the peanuts to make the dressing.

Whole peanuts can be added to salad mixture. Chopped peanuts can be added to salad mixture or stirred into dressing.

Cover and refrigerate both until ready to serve.
Pass dressing separately or toss with salad just before serving.
