My Garden Salad with Olives

April 23, 2017 By admin Leave a Comment

When I go to my local grocery store for produce, I pick produce that is in season & of course things my family likes.  I like changing up salads with all types of dressings & veggies.  This salad comes from my love of the Olive Garden salad.  I researched the Creamy Italian Dressing to make it my own & then I took the base of the Olive Garden salad & made it my own style.   I just took this salad over to friend’s birthday & people loved it because it was healthy & FRESH.   I start with picking a dressing, then I decide on lettuce & veggies, & then I move on to cheese & nuts as “garnishes”.  I am starting a whole series this spring of sharing my family’s salads & dressings.  We have salad almost every night & even my littles will eat some because they like the homemade dressing & the cheese.  They may only pick out the cheese & suck the dressing off the lettuce some nights, but at least they know salad is part of our dinner!!!  Try this simple salad with a simple dressing because it is unbelievable how easy it is to prepare!
