The quest for interesting salads...

Trey and I had an interesting Thai salad today for lunch. It had a fantastic peanut dressing that I have to learn how to make. I love salads. We tend to get stuck in the same old-same old rut sometimes though. The salad today had iceberg lettuce (I think you could sub romaine or even half romaine, and it would be yummy), cabbage, tomato, cucumber, carrot, tofu, and peanuts. It had this yummy peanut sauce covering it. I think the kidlets would devour a salad like that. I need to come up with some good salad combos to keeping things interesting for everyone. If anyone reading this blog has some good ideas - please pass them on! My first goal is to get my living foods intake up to 50% of my diet. I'd like to get it higher than that eventually. Coming up with creative salads will help me reach that goal!

I'll have to post some favourite salads over on my blog soon (though I have to first find time to do a soup post requested by a few people). I'm not really a big salad eater, so when I find a combo I love I rave about it.
