KITCHEN SINK SALAD

 

This salad is a favorite of mine and I make it a lot.  Anne Parker and Leigh Harper, my twins love this salad, too.  We call it Kitchen Sink Salad because we put everything in this recipe but the kitchen sink!  I am posting the recipe the way we like it.  You can add more or less of the ingredients or play with it to make it your own.

1 to 2 cups fresh baby spinach

1 to 1 1/2 cups baked or roasted chicken, cooked and chopped (This is good with bacon, ham, turkey or just about any meat)

1 ripe tomato, chopped

1/4 cup onion, chopped or about 3 green onions

3 to 4 radishes, sliced

1 carrot, shredded or cut in small pieces

1/3 cup craisins

1/3 cup raisins

1/3 cup walnuts or your favorite nuts (Walnuts are really good for you)

1 egg, boiled, peeled and chopped

1 apple, unpeeled, cored, seeded and cut up

1/2 cup of strawberries, sliced (can use blueberries or your favorite berry)

1/3 cup cheddar cheese, shredded (can use your favorite cheese)

Salt and Pepper to taste

Extra Virgin Olive Oil or your favorite salad dressing (We just put a little of the EVOO on ours for a dressing)

This salad is a meal and so healthy for you and so good. I can eat a big bowl of this by myself.  The above recipe makes approximately six to eight servings.  Enjoy!

  4. Honey if you have never put Strawberry’s in a salad,
    You don’t know what your missing.

  5. I have never used strawberries but do add cranraisins to a similar recipe. My salad dressing is usually some sweetened rice wine vinegar.

    I make this, but call it my “Dinner Salad”, because it has everything in a dinner, in a salad.

    what kind of dressing do you serve with this salad?

    1. The Southern Lady says:

      Any kind you like. We just use olive oil on ours. I can eat it without any dressing at all.
