Ideas for Salad – Green Salad Made Yummy

I love green salads. I love experimenting with different types of lettuce and adding a wide variety of ingredients. Here are some ideas for your green salad.

Lettuce:

I try a variety of greens. I usually like a nice spring mix or spinach mix and throw in some ice berg lettuce for crunch. You can also go for green leaf, romaine and others.
