Summertime for Salads

Summertime is the perfect time for salads. Fresh, clean and more hydrating than a plate of fries, I love to add new ingredients to the standard plate of lettuce. Now, don't get me wrong, I love fries. Love. I have a distinct weakness for potatoes in any form. I swing wildly from needing a burger and fries more than anything, to days of fresh vegetables and some fruit. Today was a nice light vegetable day.



First, roasted portobellos. Then, French's onions for a little crisp and salt. Chopped chicken and roma tomatoes. I favor the roma tomatoes because they are less juicy, and therefore perfect for topping off a salad. I used thousand island dressing in this instance, but I am an absolute sucker for Brianna's Poppy Seed Dressing. What kinds of things do you add to your salads? I'm looking for some new ideas to keep this summer fresh and light.
