Cold Weather Salads

Not just for rabbits.

Cooler weather doesn't mean you can't enjoy salads anymore, despite popular belief.  Regardless of the season, salads are a quick & healthy way to get a meal done, and all you have to do to keep a salad fulfilling in the fall is to add some seasonal ingredients. This spinach salad includes grapes, walnuts, meaty chunks of mozzarella, chicken, dried cranberries, and farmer's market tomatoes. Other ideas include adding sun dried tomato, eggplant, or leftover baked sweet potatoes, sliced and thrown atop some greens.

Or, get brave and experiment with warm salads, like wilted spinach, sliced portabella mushrooms, and macadamia nuts, and soy sauce (a favorite from a great sushi restaurant, Dragonfly, in my hometown, Gainesville, FL.)
