Domestic Goddess Salad Recipes

The art of making a super tossed salad. Use a jumbo bowl and servers, salt grinder and pepper mill. Chef’s seasoning trick; Put a little salt in mortar add garlic buds and herbs, then crush. Use a variety of greens plus wedges of ripe tomato, hard cooked eggs. Add tangy dressing, toss briskly, and you have the tastiest salad you ever ate. One of these days I will make one. For eye appeal and flavor contrast: Add tomato wedges, onion rings, green pepper, radishes, grated cheese, pimiento, egg slices, olives, small fruits, nuts.
