Salad days are here again! Here are some ideas to make your salad a super one!
Don't just use plain red wine vinegar! Try cranberry juice or other kinds of vinegars.
Don't be afraid to try different styles of salads! One of my favorites is a Chinese style, which is just cucumbers marinated in a little sesame oil and vinegar!
To prevent greens from wilting on you, don't add the salad dressing until just before serving!
