Whenever someone offers to bring a dish to a dinner that I\u2019m hosting, I ask for a leafy salad. I can make salad easily; in fact, we have salads with our dinner almost every night. But seeing what other people put in their salads is always interesting and inspiring. And why is it salads made by someone else always taste better?!<\/p>\n

My sister-in-law is the best<\/em><\/strong> salad maker. Her salads are beautiful, always<\/em>. There is nothing Ho Hum about her salads! She likes to use in-season ingredients. In the spring and summer, she adds ripe and juicy tomatoes, crisp peppers, freshly shelled peas and even thinly sliced small zucchini and lots of fresh herbs. In the fall and winter she adds in beautiful fruits like pomegranates, apples and pears plus gorgeous veggies like beets, carrots and Brussels sprouts. She\u2019ll add in dried fruits, nuts and cheese. The colors of her salads make me so happy and I know I\u2019m eating a nutritional powerhouse.<\/p>\n

I think we can all fall into the \u201csame old salad\u201d rut. Same dressing\u2026same veggies\u2026 etc. We know that a leafy-green salad is one of the easiest ways to include Vitamin A, Vitamin C, beta-carotene, calcium, folate, fiber, and phytonutrients. In fact, eating salad regularly helps us to fulfill our recommended daily intake of nutrients. But let\u2019s make our nutritional salads, prettier, more fun and even tastier!<\/p>\n
