I'm very picky about salads, there are many things that I don't like:
- Overly large pieces of food (do not want to smear dressing all around my mouth)
- Non-chopped up lettuce (a pain to try to eat with a fork, a little more bearable with chopsticks)
- Too much dressing
- Too sweet of dressings (although a suitable amount of sugar is necessary for balance)
- Anything but peak season tomatoes
I've also got a very long list of salad recipes saved in various places. Luckily I'll have plenty of warm weather this year to get to them.
Potato salad with super mustard-y dressing
Kroger was out of stock on radishes, so I threw in some cherry tomatoes instead. Super glad that I did, the sweetness from the cherry tomato is a good foil for the huge amount of sourness in the salad (there's half a jar of pickles in there).
Barley, green bean and chickpea salad with toasted spices vinaigrette via Bon Appetite
Cumin and coriander is my go-to spice combo, so much so that I ran out of coriander and used that as an excuse for a Penzey's order. This vinaigrette is a good match for grain salads.
