Salads and toppers

Most people love to have a salad as the first course of their meal. In supermarkets today, there is a tremendous refrigerated section that gives you a choice of pre-packaged salads of all types. You can also pick out your favorite greens and make your own mixture.

After you’ve chosen your salad mix, you can then vary your “add-ons” from a complete variety of fresh, dried or canned items. There is also a large variety of salad dressings. Here too, the consumer may choose to make her own, usually using such items as mustard, wine, vinegar and spices.

Or, you can take advantage of the new toppers that are available. There are traditional croutons, which now come in a larger variety of flavors. Or, use tortilla or wonton strips to add a little punch to your salad.

“Creative Living” is produced and hosted by Sheryl Borden. The show is carried by more than 118 PBS stations. Contact her at:
