Balsamic Cranberry Salad
I make a salad with romaine, dried cranberries, feta, cucumbers with balsamic vinaigrette, but I'm thinking about expanding it to be a main dish salad like this:
Romaine and spinach Sliced cucumbers Slivered red onion Crumbled feta cheese Dried cranberries Roasted chicken or turkey cubes or slices Toasted sliced almonds Balsamic vinaigrette: balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper, granulated onion, granulated garlic I'm toying with the idea of including a chopped granny smith apple. So what do you think?

Re: Balsamic Cranberry Salad
I actually made a similar one this summer several times; it was so good. I used toasted walnuts instead of almonds, and a spinach only base, but that's pretty much it.

 Well, dd would eat part of the salad. Ds not at all. I haven't thought this all through yet.   Oh hey, the kids will eat chicken; I could make enough of that plus a side for them.  this is going to be on my menu one of these nights. And, of course, you are welcome anytime.  ---------- Post added at 08:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:08 PM ---------- Quote:

Re: Balsamic Cranberry Salad
I find that mine will eat a salad if I part it out for him.
 He'll eat the toppings/chunky veggies and at least pick at the greens. I don't give him dressing because it doesn't chaneg what he doesn/doesn't eat... and then I can toss him greens into a smoothie and push it at him later.

Re: Balsamic Cranberry Salad
I make one very similar without cucumbers and with raspberry viniagrette instead of balsamic. I can eat mountains of that salad.
