Salads have to be loaded with tasty things and not too much lettuce. Yours looks good! 

Yep, I sooo agree! Lots of tasty variety in ours. I noticed it also cuts back on the need for dressing that way... I've been using both pepperoncini and banana pepper juice as dressing. Lessens the cals that way. 🥗😋 

Perfection on a plate!😍 

Thanks Crystal,... High praise indeed!😊 

looks so good  

BB.. I sooo look forward to salads! All out of lettuce greens now though. Won't be having any more for a while now, until shopping day. 🛒😢🥗 

Looks so good I’m in the same boat as Buttons, out of salad and toppings atm. The tranny went in my car so I have to find a car. Ugh, so I am currently depending on 2 of my sisters for rides to the store. The car prices have skyrocketed since Covid so it’s been a challenge to find a car on my budget. Trying to be patient as I continue my search. 

What??? No lettuce greens I no you hate that  

Izme.. Transmission's are tough!! I've had lots of experience with automotive, and had vehicle engines down to bolt 1. I also used to rebuild five jeep diffs/day in the Army, and even helped rebuild tank engines and many other things, plus then my own vehicles through the years, but I've always said that the two things I wouldn't teardown/rebuild ever again were automatic transmissions (standards are fine) and power steering boxes (again, standards are fine)... Best just to remove/replace with a boneyard onein my opinion... Good luck! 🚗🔧🤔💵 

BB... Yep, just used up the last few pieces a moment ago I was saving for today's buffalo chicken wrap Need more greens! Sooo odd to hear me say that! 🐓🌯🥬..🥗😂🤣 

Lol right!!!  

Looks delicious! 🥗 

Benicia, thank you, and yes it was! Sooo many good flavors! The combo really does help steer me away from dressings! 🥗😋👍 

Are those blackberries? YUM! My kind of salad! I agree they have to be interesting to eat. I had an arugula salad with apple slices & strawberries. Sometimes inout a little blue cheese & pear in there. So good! Like you said, who'd have thought it a year ago?! 😆 

Hazel... Nope, not blackberries, they're black olives, but look that way cuz of the parmesan cheese sprinkled over the top. I thought they looked like blackberries too when the picture posted.... Wondered if people might think that. It does sound interesting for a salad though don't it!? 🤔 🖼️ 

It's amazing how your taste buds change when you start eating healthier. Salad looks great! 😁 

Writing... Thank you, ...Yep, they do change, but to be honest, we're having far better salad's than I ever knew existed before! We almost always start with a spring mix, and try to steer clear of the iceberg types if possible. Then a wide array of veggies, w/croutons and sometimes bacon bits, pepper jack and an egg if we're needing more protein. ...and then always topped with parm cheese and pepperoncini or banana peppers! And then usually plated with some leftover chicken.Mmmmm! 🥗 

I don't like olives, but with cheeses maybe! Lol cheese makes everything better. I will try the blackberries though, thanks for the idea! 💕 

LooseButtons, loving your salad combo. Thanks :-) 

Living... Glad you like it! 🥗😊👍
