Your Basic Tossed Salad image

This is Rachael Ray's recipe and pretty much the salad I grew up on coming from an Italian family. The portions can be increased for larger groups. I love this simple and healthy salad. It is a perfect salad to serve with Italian food!

I'm not a huge fan of lettuce, so I sometimes use arugula or spinach instead. It's just as delicious.

I've tried this salad with different types of dressing, and it's always delicious. My favorite is a simple vinaigrette, but I've also tried it with a creamy dressing and a honey mustard dressing.
