Just a little something to break the monotony of lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumbers in a salad for those looking to salad outside the box. My kids love this, mostly because they are fascinated with hard boiled eggs. We had this tonight with some lentil soup and leftover cornbread.
I will let you decide what kind of ratios you like best on your veg in a salad but I'll put down what I used tonight.
8 oz greens
1 small cucumber, peeled and chopped
1 orange pepper, seeded and chopped
20 cherry tomatoes, halved
1/3 cup Parmesan, Asiago, Romano cheese blend
Egg topping:
4 hard boiled eggs - chopped
1 can cannellini beans - drained and rinsed
1 small jar marinated artichoke hearts - drained and chopped
1 tbsp Old Bay crab seasoning
Put all the ingredients for egg topping in a bowl and mix before adding to the salad
We used a white balsamic and honey dressing from Kroger that was super delicious. We have had it before with balsamic vinaigrette which is also very good. I got this from a Muscle and Fitness magazine recipe and substituted the beans for crab. Give it a try if you want to break out of the salad rut.
Eat well!
