Salads

French Style Salad:  

This salad has a great texture and flavor variety. 

Ingredients:

1 tomato

Hard boiled egg

6-10 whole, fresh green beans

1 can solid albacore tuna in water

1 head of butter lettuce

Building this salad is pretty straight forward; wash each piece of butter lettuce and lay down a good thick base. Empty water from tuna and scoop on top. Peel and slice hard boiled egg. Clean green beans and lay on the side. Slice tomato and add to finished salad.  

 Arugula/Spinach Salad with Feta:

Ingredients:

About 1 cup arugula

2 cups baby spinach

About 1/3 cup herb and basil feta cheese, crumbled

2 small to medium tomatoes

Vinaigrette of your choice

Mix arugula, spinach and tomatoes together, crumble feta cheese over it and dress with a vinaigrette. It is very simple but packed with wonderful flavor. 

Fresh Summer Salad

Ingredients:

3-4 baby carrots, cut into little chunks

1 medium tomato

Spring mix lettuces

Ranch dressing

I served this salad with a Cajun seasoned chicken breast in order to have a nice contrast between the warm and spicy chicken and the cool salad.
