Salads are boring blah, blah, blah! They can be, yes. On the flip side, living a healthy lifestyle, that includes adding an abundance of greens to your diet, will require a bit of creativity. I love salad! I create my own salad dressings to keep mine interesting. The trick to a tasty salad/dressing adding unique ingredients, such as sprouts and herbs. Just like I did here! Try this when making your next salad meal!
