My Favorite Tossed Salad

"I came up with this combination as a teen and it has always been my favorite. You can use any salad dressing of your choice and top with boiled eggs, sunflower seeds, cheese, croutons, bacon bits or whatever you choose. My preference with this one...just serve it like it is. The juices from the tomatoes are all the dressing I require! It is very colorful, light and refreshing! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do."

  1. I tried this last night. Cindy is right - the juice from the tomatoes does make a dressing. And it is delicious. This is very easy and simple to make with minimal preparation, so would be a good choice for children to start with (as long as the cutting of ingredients was supervised). After trying the recipe exactly as it reads, I did add some of my favourite ingredients - olives and just a dash of a dressing (made from lemon, vinegar, salt and sugar). This gave it a very unusual taste which I will be happy to eat again tonight.
     
  2. This is my go to tossed salad. I love the veggies in this and added radishes, other colors of bell pepper and/ or blue cheese crumbles as well. The family wanted dressing on theirs but this can be eaten plain or with oil and vinegar just as easily. The tomatoes must be good and ripe. The Bermuda onion sounds so fancy but it is just sweet onion. Scrumptious. Thanks for posting Cindy Lynn, I grew up on this salad and love it just as much now as then. Enjoy! ChefDLH
     
  3. Really good fresh salad. I also added some radishes and smoked gouda cubes. Easy and delish. Thanks for sharing. Made for Name That Ingredient Tag.
     
  4. This is a nice, colorful basic tossed salad. I had nice homegrown tomatoes and cucumbers that I used. I used a prepackaged iceburg salad mix (the kind with shredded carrots and cabbage in it). I sprinkled cheese on top and had little bowls of salad toppers such as sunflower seeds, croutons, bacon bits, so everyone could personalize their salad. I drizzled the salad with a plain oil and vinegar mixture. Thanx for posting. We'll have this again.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am currently a stay at home Mom and wife (aka: homemaker, domestic engineer, chauffeur, etc.). My husband and I made this choice about 2 1/2 years ago. At the time I was averaging 72 hours/week +. Our kids were complaining that they never saw me, and one of them was even getting in trouble (too little supervision apparently). We got the troubled teen through high school, and she is currently preparing for college. Things have improved a lot so I am considering going back to work part-time while the kids are gone to school (if the right opportunity presents itself). <br> <br>I love to cook, especially trying new recipes. I get tired of the same ol', same ol'. I also love reading cookbooks and the history of recipes. I always hated doing all the dishes afterwards, so I did a lot of one dish meals whenever possible. Recently, my husband bought me a new dishwasher, so now I am cooking up a storm! Everyone is loving it. <br> <br>I look forward to making new friends in Recipezaar, trying out new recipes, and hope some of you will try some of mine. Please, if you try my recipes, take time to post a little note telling me about your experience and any modifications you may have made. I just love to experiment and try new things in the kitchen! :-))
