For the longest time the excitement of the salad was the salad dressing that went on top. Until I went to my aunt’s house one time, and we made salads and she put seasonings in her salad, she said oh yeah you have to season your salad. That always stayed with me. When I became vegan I tried to make my salads even more intriguing.

So now when I make a salad I try new vegetables or fry tofu to put on top and then I season my salad. Every time I make a salad I always end up saying I should eat these more often. Now it’s not just about the dressing it’s about the different combinations of vegetables and seasonings I put in the salad that I relish. There is such a variety of lettuces, and various raw produce you can add, as well as you can roast vegetables , or add tofu or a meat less products.

Next time you go to make a salad think to yourself how can I make this flavorful, think of the produce, herbs and seasonings you can add. Even the dressing can be interesting if you make you own. My best salads are when I add olive oil and lemon juice. It does not have to be fancy to be tasty. Just think of strong delicious flavors that will come together to create a dynamite salad.

So when you sit down with your salad ask yourself is it exciting or bland, if it’s the latter go back to the kitchen craft a more appetizing salad!!
