How I like to make my Salads

 

Spinach Leaves, Raspberries, Cheddar Cheese, Blueberries, Tomatoes and Red/Yellow Peppers.

Hey Ya'll, 

I wanted show you how I make a salad, as it might be a bit different than what other people do. Since I'm not a Food or Recipe blogger, so I won't be adding random dribble about how my mother's, brothers sister's, ex wife's, cousin, got lost in the woods in the middle of a snowstorm and found some weird mushroom that inspired them to make a pineapple pizza. 

When I make salads, I put in my main ingredients and then if I have leftovers of whatever foods, I also put them in there as well. 

So I'm going to be separating the items into different categories. 

Main - This is what makes the salad the salad
Cheeses 
Fruit - 
Vegetables 
Meats 
Seasonings 
Dressing 
Seeds 

Main - Basically this is the main part of the salad, whether it's lettuce, spinach leaves, or if you want to just make a pasta salad instead. (Or just all of the above)

Spinach leaves- Are generally more healthier than just ordinary lettuce, so I prefer to go with this. Personally for me, they have a time limit. Once they get soggy and wet, they taste gross to me and I cannot have them.

You can get this in the aisles with lettuce, not that nasty can crap in a can that Popeye was eating in them old shows. 

Pasta - (Whole grain is healthier just so you know and better in controlling blood sugar)
Use the small kind like macaroni or the springs for salads.

Cheeses

Feta cheese (Already crumbled)

Cheddar Cheese - Sometimes I cut up some block cheddar cheese and throw it in there. 

Mozzerella Cheese - I'm very versatile with my Mozzerella cheese, If I have the block cheese from the grocery store that you cut up. But for salads I love using the Fresh Mozzerella cheese, it comes in a oval like shape, it'll be very wet and it comes pre-sliced. If worst comes to worst, I use 1-2 String Sheeses and cut it up into little bite sizes and throw it in.

Shredded Mozzarella and or Cheddar (or whichever cheese you like)

Fruit - Cut up whatever fruit you like.

For me, I always buy my berries, it's a must have in my refrigerator! Berries also have the lowest sugar, which is great for diabetic or pre-diabetics. 

Banana

Blackberries

Blueberries

Raspberries

Strawberries

Vegetables  - Here are my must have vegatables.

Carrots - Shop Rite sells carrot chips or Shredded, which I think is the easiest form of Carrot to have for a salad.

Peppers - Green|Yellow|Red.  Red is the healthiest.

Tomatoes - I know it’s a fruit! I like either cut up tomatoes or the grape tomatoes. Like spinach, it tastes terrible if you don't eat it right away, once it starts getting squishy, that means it's no good anymore. 

Meats

Chicken - Any kind and all kind, you could even get chicken nuggets from the grocery store and tear them into pieces and throw them in.

Pepperoni - Slices already made from the grocery store are perfect for salads. The consumption amount is about 16 slices. 

Steak - Steak can be hard to chew so I recommend cutting them in thin slices.

Seasonings

Garlic or Onion Salt/powder

Crushed Red Pepper Flakes - I love Crushed Red Pepper for some spice. Just don't put on too much, you don't want to set your mouth on fire! 

Parsley

Rosemary

Dressing

I like good seasonings Italian dressing, it’s healthier than the bottled crap, you just need oil and vinegar to make it. Some stores have the Good Seasonings that come with a Glass Dressings bottle to mix and make the dressing! 

Good Seasons - Italian Dressing

Seeds - Are really healthy and packed with all sorts of good stuff.
