STRAWBERRY TOSSED SALAD



Strawberry Tossed Salad image

Meet the Cook: One reason I particularly like this recipe is that it's so versatile. I've served the salad with poultry, ham and pork all throughout the year and even used it to add color to the table at Christmas. Recently, when I brought this for a dinner at church, one lady asked if she could take home the little that was left for her husband's lunch the next day - and he very rarely eats salad or fruit. Right now, my husband and I are in the middle of building our retirement home out in the country. We have four grown children and five grandchildren. -Patricia McNamara, Kansas City, Missouri

  • Use a variety of greens: This will add color, texture, and flavor to your salad. Some good options include romaine lettuce, spinach, arugula, and watercress.
  • Add some crunch: Nuts, seeds, and croutons are all great ways to add crunch to your salad. Some popular options include almonds, walnuts, pecans, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds.
  • Use a light and flavorful dressing: A simple vinaigrette or citrus dressing is a good choice for this salad. Avoid heavy or creamy dressings, as they will overpower the delicate flavors of the strawberries and greens.
  • Serve immediately: This salad is best enjoyed fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store the dressing and salad separately and combine them just before serving.
