OK have to turn this over to the group - I need help. I hate hate hate to make salads. I like to eat salad. I always order salad in a restaurant because I hate to make it so much myself. I love the different colors, textures, leaves, radish, cukes,tomatoes all of it. But I just really do not like to prepare it. I buy those prepared salads (it has been suggested to me by a friend) I take a handful throw it in a bowl and put some dressing on it, from a bottle. Usually I end up throwing out several bottles of dressing they are awful. I liked Boos salad it sounded like it would be interesting to make. Can you guys give me good salad recipes. Or make some suggestions regarding eating salad at home?

A REALLY GOOD HEALTHY SALAD THAT I MAKE IS VERY SIMPLE TO DO! YOU JUST BOIL SOME SPAGHETTI(I USE THE THIN KIND)...RINSE AND DRAIN IT AND PUT IT IN A BOWL! ADD SOME DRESSING(I USE ITALIAN DRESSING)IN IT (NOT TOO MUCH AND NOT TOO LITTLE)! NOW....TAKE SOME VEGGIES IE,(CARROTS,PEPPER'S,BROCCOLI,DILL PICKLE,CALIFLOWER,GREEN AND/OR BLACK OLIVES,WHATEVER YOUR FAVS ARE!) AND...CUT THEM UP INTO TEENY, TINY.... PEICES AND THROW THEM IN WITH THE PASTA! BOIL UP AN EGG OR TWO...AND CUT THAT UP REAL TINY TOO AND THROW THAT IN TOO! ALONG WITH... SOME LETTUCE(WHATEVER YOUR FAV IS)CUT THAT UP TINY TOO! THROW THEM ALL TOGETHER ADD SOME ASSORTED TINY CHEESE CHUNKS(WHATEVER YOU FAV'S ARE!)AND SOME PEPPERONI OR HAM, TURKEY OR... YOUR FAVORITE COLD MEAT FOR SALAD...AND POOF! YOU HAVE AN EASY PASTA SALAD! THE GOOD THING ABOUT THIS IS...YOU USE WHATEVER YOUR FAVORITES ARE! YOU CONTROL HOW MUCH DRESSING YOU USE TOO! YOU CONTROL HOW MUCH MEAT, VEGGIES OR CHEESE ALSO! MIX IT ALL TOGETHER...AND...ENJOY! (IT TASTES EVEN BETTER THE NEXT DAY...AFTER... THE FLAVORS HAVE MINGLED!) TTYL! BOOMERTOO

Now that is something I could do. Do you use raw or cooked vegetables?

Reenee, I love salads, I don't always have alot of time ... so in additin to the bag-o-salad, I buy vegs that are pre-cut or shredded. Like carrots, brocolli, califlower ... I do still need to chop onions andclery, but I do up a baggie full at one time so I don't have to do them everytime I want them. Just a thought! Aletta
