The salad of mixed greens with apples, toasted walnuts, blue cheese, and olive oil sounds delicious! I love the idea of the combination of sweet and savory flavors, and the blue cheese adds a nice bit of creaminess. I can also imagine that the toasted walnuts add a nice crunch.

I like the variations that you suggested as well. I think adding dried cranberries would be a great way to add a bit of sweetness and tartness to the salad. I also think using roasted pecans instead of walnuts would be a nice change, and adding salmon would make the salad more protein-rich.

Our children really enjoy a plain greens salad with toasted wheat germ. They won’t even put dressing on it. Kooky kids :)

I made a salad last night that was yummy good. The original recipe calls for small shell pasta and I switched it out for whole wheat pasta. I also think broccoli would be good in place of the spinach and you can put in any kind of cheese that you prefer. There are only two of us so I cut the recipe in half.

1 lb. spiral or small shell whole wheat pasta
1/2 lb. feta cheese, crumbled
2 (10 oz) pkgs. frozen spinach
1 can black olives, drained
2 med. tomatoes, diced
1 Tbsp. finely chopped mint
1/2 c. olive oil
2 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
3 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 tsp. finely chopped oregano

Cook pasta according to package directions. Steam spinach in just the water that clings to it for a few minutes in a tightly covered saucepan. Remove from the heat after the spinach wilts.

Toss the spinach with the pasta; top with tomatoes and olives.

Combine remaining ingredients (except Feta) for salad dressing and pour over the salad. Top with the crumbled feta cheese and serve.

My favorite right now is mixed greens, feta cheese, and pomegranate seeds. Yum! Always looking for something different, though!

Do you dry your own cranberries or can you tell me what brand you have found that doesn’t include sugar?
