My Simple Formula for Creating A Salad Without a Recipe:<\/a>
Base + Color + Protein + Crunch + Dressing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Start with A Base<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To build a salad recipe of your very own, start by choosing a base. This can be something simple like lettuce or another leafy green vegetable, but you can also make a bean salad, a grain salad, or a vegetable-based salad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your base can also be cold or warm. There’s nothing quite like a warm grain and citrus salad in the cold winter months! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your base will set the tone for your entire salad, so be sure to choose something that you like and that will jive with the other ingredients you want to use. (Sometimes I choose my base last!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make a salad that serves 4 people, you’ll want 6-8 cups of leafy greens or 4 cups of beans, grains, or sturdier vegetables like broccoli or potatoes. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
