Day 8 : You do make friends with a salad- A salad to win anyone’s heart.(click HERE to see what others are sharing today)

"Light on a Tennessee River"

Here’s how boring I am: my favorite vegetable is lettuce. And yes, there is lettuce under this mountain of vegetables. Do you see that I used some raw veg and also some sautéed veg? Those are sautéed portabella mushrooms  there in the middle of the salad.

What make a big salad like this special is a homemade dressing. I used two of my favorites and mixed them together. (That’s a special secret – try mixing dressings, maybe a creamy one and a vinaigrette, for a new flavor.)
