As I continue on growing in my cooking journey, I have gained a much greater appreciation for salads. Â I am constantly looking to include more and more ingredients in my salad, but equally important, is making it visually appealing by having a lot of colors in it.
In this case, I mixed a couple of types of lettuce, a variety of peppers, yellow tomatoes, avocados and corn. The end result was a picturesque salad (you be the judge).
Recipe
Salad:
- 1 head each of romaine and red leaf lettuce
- 2 ears of grilled corn
- one dozen yellow cherry tomatoes
- 1/4 each of red, green, yellow, and orange peppers
- 2 sliced avocados.
Sometimes when I do salads with avocado I just have that be the dressing and add some salt and pepper. Yum!
I love salads with vibrant colors and this one looks very good!! What did you use for a dressing?

I make really colorful salads and all my lunch partners are jealous. I prepare 4 days worth of salads on Sunday night and place them individual plastic containers. They stay very fresh and I save so much time doing it that way. I wasn’t sure preparing them ahead of time would allow them to stay fresh but they do. I add everything I can think of to add color but my “musts” are carrots, broccoli slaw, green onion, cherry tomatoes. I love to chop up sugar snap peas, mushrooms,etc.
For a dressing, I like Newman’s Lite Balsamic Vinegar.
What did you use as a dressing? Have a great week!
