Summer is for Fun Salads

Elaine, on Seinfeld, had her Big Salad. I like the Fun Salad. Summer is an optimal time for the Fun Salad since there are so many fresh items available, especially for those of us who live in out of the way, God forsaken and produce challenged areas. There is no set recipe for a fun salad, just lots and lots of ingredients. Ice berg lettuce, I feel, is a no-no, but if that is what fires your salad fancy, then so be it.

Fun salads can be had at most restaurants, by either requesting that the kitchen combine a few on the menu into one festival of roughage happiness or by ordering an offered item and suggesting many items the cooks might be willing to toss in for giggles. My favorite current favorite Fun Salad that we make at our house involves fresh, organic baby lettuce greens (yes, I use the mixture in the bag), shelled, organic edamame, sugared walnuts, organic smoked salmon and Marie's Blue Cheese Vinaigrette dressing. Heaven in a bowl.
