The Perfect Salad

 What makes a good salad? Start with the greens. then those tasty add in and finished with a drizzle of a favorite dressing. Yet many get this . What happened to perfection?

Personally I find that a bag of mixed greens is your best bet.

I like Fresh Express.

The salad is already cut, It' just needs to be thrown into a good salad bowl. As for the dressing.I usually start with adding about two to three tablespoons of a good olive oil like Lidls' and a teaspoons or a sprinkle of white wine vinegar - also Lidl

's. This way only a small amount of dressing is used and doesn't;t overpower the greens. S

alt and pepper help too.  I like to add croutons but if it's summer some tuna and fresh veggies to give it a Nicoise vibe.
I drizzle a generous amount of dressing - namely - Follow Your Heart ranch dressing.It has a mild flavor and but not overpowering. You can still taste the greens  with it. Cheese, sunflower seeds and almonds can top this if you want.

What makes a good salad? Thoughtfulness in creating it and good ingredients that you love. That's what makes a bowl of greens sing.
