Simple Daily Salad

Simple Daily Salad
I usually make some type of salad every night for dinner.  This is one that I make most weekdays.  With an abundance of heirloom tomatoes and cucumbers from our garden right now, I simply add goat's milk feta, and a dressing of some sort.  Last night I used Annie's Green Goddess because I felt like something creamy.  Usually I dress the veggies in red wine vinegar, a splash of olive oil, fresh ground pepper.  Newman's Own Greek salad dressing is another favorite around here.  
On the weekend days I get more creative with our dinner salads.  With fall's arrival I start craving roasted nuts, cranberries, soft and stinky creamy cheeses, candied bacon (Ina's recipe!), spinach.  During the summer months I love assorted lettuces with feta or freshly grated extra-sharp cheddar, crumbled hard boiled eggs, garbanzo beans, beets, radishes, fresh herbs to give that digestive quality.  Sometimes, I'll make a batch of croutons if we have a loaf of artisan bread that's drying out quicker than we can eat it. 
But this simple daily salad always satisfies.  And my kiddos love it which is a mega bonus.
