Everything Salad


I love this salad. It's sort of a hybrid of Ramen Noodle Salad, Mandarin Orange Salad and Broccoli Salad with a few extras thrown in.

Really it can be made with whatever add-ins you like and, in fact, it's often referred to as "Anything and Everything Salad."

Start with your favorite mix of lettuces, romaine, spring mix, fresh baby spinach, or mixed baby greens are good choices. Add in a choice of fruits like chopped apple, mandarin oranges, tangerines, pineapple chunks, cubed cantaloupe and other melons, sliced pears, hulled and sliced strawberries, grapes or pomegranate arils.

Enhance those with golden or dark raisins, dried cranberries, or other chopped dried fruit like apricots, peaches or apples.

Add in shredded carrots, sliced cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, white, red or yellow onion, and seeds and nuts like sunflower and pumpkin seeds, pecans, cashews, walnuts or macadamias.

Add proteins like smoked ham strips, grilled chicken, shrimp, or beef, or cooked, crumbled bacon and chopped hard boiled eggs. Whatever you like, anything and everything!

If you like to add a salad to your holidays, this is the one.

It's made with a sweet and sour dressing we love so much in the south and with the inclusion of some fruit, it's sweet enough that everybody loves it. It will disappear from the table.

Plus, it's easy to throw together even at the last minute and it's pretty.

The ramen noodle crunchies that are thrown in are so good that I insist that you absolutely must use them. I love to make a double batch to have some at the table so that everybody can add plenty to their own plates.

Did I mention that I really love this salad?


Here's how to make it.
