red green and blue salad

This week in the big bowl: an utterly delicious salad that you can fix up in no time. I could eat this salad every day for a couple of weeks, I think. It's that delicious.

Red Green and Blue Salad

red and green salad greens - this time I used a spring mix with some red and some green leaves
chopped cucumber
snap peas
pea shoots
fresh strawberries - sliced
blue cheese
your favourite dressing - a nice balsamic vinaigrette, or the glory bowl dressing works fine

Assemble the ingredients into single servings or a family-sized salad to share. If someone doesn't like blue cheese, you can serve it on the side. But then, for that person, it will not be red green and blue salad. It will just be red and green. So maybe that person could add some blueberries, or think about liking blue cheese after all.

I realised after I made, photographed, and devoured this salad, that I forgot to add walnuts. They are not red, green or blue, but they are allowed in the salad because they go perfectly with the blue cheese. Oh well, next time.

This is a highly adaptable salad recipe. Whatever you take out or add in, you may adjust the colour description in order to title your salad appropriately.

Enjoy hearty salads with exciting textures and flavours all through the year. The big bowl says this is good, and so it is.

Bonus: Here's the recipe for Glory Bowl, posted online with permission by Canadian Living. See my post below for my own riff on this delicious recipe. The dressing recipe makes a large amount. You can easily halve the proportions to make a manageable size batch. It's good on all of your salads.
