This is one salad that's full of crunch. There's really not much I can say about this one is that it was crunchy. I'm trying to find more ways to jazz up the old conventional salad. By making different vinaigrettes and dressing or by adding different ingredients I didn't put it in before. I was always a caesar salad kind of girl, so I never really ventured out into trying other varieties. So I mixed up a little sweet and sour vinaigrette to "sort of" give it this salad a nice little Asian taste as well as adding some crumbled tortilla chips for an added crunch. It was also a great way for me to use up some leftover celery and carrots. Even more crunch! Crrrruuuuuunch!!! Can you hear that?

I love crunchy salads. I think it makes it more fun to eat. I cannot just eat a huge bowl of lettuce with nothing else...I'm no rabbit :)

Salads like these will help you get out of the winter rut too! Thanks for visiting.
love that vinegrette. the sushi place where I go has a similiar version to this and they put a ton of dressing on, and I just drink it up (gross I know, but I was the kid drinking the pickle juice) LOL
