I’m not a salad person. At all. Sure, it’s fine when a little salad comes with my steak or spaghetti and meatballs but you’ll never catch me ordering a salad as my main. Unless it came with a side of fries. 🙂
So I’m not sure what happened but I’ve turned a new (wait for the pun) leaf. Maybe it’s spring in the air but I had this craving for the ultimate salad for dinner and I think I’ve got it in the bag. I gobbled it down as if it were a plate of spaghetti & meatballs though I wouldn’t have turned down the garlic breadsticks. Too delicious not to share!

Here’s what went into my Kitchen Sink Salad (makes 2 large salads):

• 1 bag of mixed greens
• 1/2 a cucumber, cut into rings
• 2 roma tomatoes
• 1/2 cup of corn
• 1/2 cup of sliced olives
• 1 cup of garlic & cheese croutons
• 1/2 cup of shredded ghouda
• 8 ounces of cubed ham
• 8 ounces of sliced turkey

I made my own dressing but you can use any bottled variety as well:

• 1 T. extra virgin olive oil
• 2 t. balsamic vinegar
• 1 t. red wine vinegar
• 1 T. sugar
• 1 t. fresh or dried parsley
• 1 t. dill
• 1 t. garlic salt

Mix together in separate bowl.

Toss the mixed greens in a large bowl with dressing. Plate the greens on two dinner plates then add all the toppings.
