When spring arrives, I’m always so eager to ditch some carbs and increase my intake of salads. It’s so fresh, and refreshing. I love it! I like to mix up a big bag full. I cut up lettuce, add shredded purple cabbage, grated carrots, and whatever other veggies were on sales, such as cauliflower, broccoli, green onions, sprouts, and cucumbers. I’m way more likely to eat salad during the day if I have a bag of pre-made “pretty” salad like that!
Now we’re nearing the end of May, and I confess I’m a little tired of salad. I don’t want to be, I want to continue to eat it though. My solution? Switch up the salad dressing! I make my own, and our absolute favorite is the Voeller Dressing (Vinaigrette). Changing the dressing really changes the taste of your salad, so the other day I mixed up a Catalina dressing, and yum! I’m enjoying salads all over again! 
I wanted to highlight the salad dressing recipes I have on this site, for quick reference this summer! They’re all delicious, and such nice varieties!

Thanks for sharing! It does make sense that if I’d wash and prepare a big bag of such a pretty mix, I’d be more likely to EAT salad…
How do you keep it ‘fresh’? (package it, etc?) I find my lettuce, etc goes limp and brown very quickly.

Thanks for dropping in, Lori!
I keep it in a large ziploc bag. I find it lasts 2-3 days, which is about right for us in how much we eat. If you sort of figure out how much you will use in 2-3 days, then it’ll give you an idea of how much to prepare ahead of time.
Make sure you dry your lettuce after washing, I use a salad spinner. If I use iceburg, I actually don’t even wash it, so it’s not moist. Hope that helps!
