Supper "Dolled Up" Salads. |
Ingredients for tonight's Dinner Salads: (For each salad.)
1 C. washed and chopped lettuce
1 C. peeled and shredded carrots
1 stalk celery sliced
2 radishes sliced
6 cold blanched fresh or 1/4 C. drained canned green beans 1" dice
5 stalks blanched cold fresh asparagus cut into 1" pieces
1 washed and diced tomato
1/2 cold cooked chicken breast sliced
4-5 ounces thinly sliced ham
1 sliced hard cooked egg
2-3 ounces shredded or crumbled cheese of your liking
2 T. salted and toasted sunflower seeds
Salad dressing of your liking
These are all just things I had in the refrigerator. Some from a veggie tray, some left from a meal earlier in the week, and some things just on hand. To assemble choose an over sized bowl. Start with the lettuce and just layer across the bottom o the bowl for the base. Then mound the remaining vegetables around the bowl. Make an attractive mound of the two meats and egg. Sprinkle with cheese and sunflower seeds. These then can be sealed with plastic wrap and stashed in the refrigerator until serving time.
