PEP UP YOUR SALADS
Give your standard salad new life, try adding one or more of the following:
Capers (for a salty, savory bite).
Dried figs cut into quarters (for a sweet and almost meaty texture).
Fresh strawberries or canned, drained, mandarin orange segments
(for a sweet and fresh flavor).
Diced avocado (for creamy decadence).
Seedless grapes (for juicy sweetness).
Crumbled blue or feta cheese (for sharp tanginess).
Cooked and chilled penne, or other small pasta (for chew).
Toasted pumpkin seeds (for creamy crunch).
Chive blossoms (for a bite of peppery onion).
Sliced mushrooms (for flavor)
Croutons (for crunch)
If you need something visually different, try flowers. With few exceptions, they generally add little flavor, but they can look fantastic. Some grocers now sell assortments of edible flowers. If you are using your own garden flowers, be sure no pesticides were used on them. Just adding a different salad dressing makes an easy refreshing change.
