Mixed Greens with Blue Cheese Dressing image

I like to make this dish with whatever greens are in season. In spring, I use tender young greens from my garden, including spinach and Bibb lettuce.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, crisp greens: The base of any good salad is fresh, crisp greens. Choose a variety of greens, such as romaine lettuce, arugula, spinach, and kale, to add texture and flavor to your salad.
  • Use a variety of toppings: Don't just stick to croutons and bacon. There are endless possibilities for salad toppings, so get creative! Try adding roasted vegetables, nuts, seeds, fruits, or cheeses to your salad.
  • Make your own dressing: Store-bought dressings are often loaded with unhealthy fats and sugars. Making your own dressing is easy and allows you to control the ingredients. There are many different recipes for salad dressings online, so you can find one that suits your taste.
  • Don't overdress your salad: A little dressing goes a long way. Overdressing your salad will make it soggy and unappetizing. Start with a small amount of dressing and add more if needed.
  • Serve your salad immediately: Salads are best when served immediately after they are made. This will prevent the greens from wilting and the dressing from separating.
