| Spinach tossed salad can be delicious! |
Today, I made myself a spinach tossed salad. It was so delicious. I want to share with you how I put it together. It wasn't totally healthy, but I was craving it. Of course, you can add and/or remove ingredients.

| Here are the ingredients I used for my salad. |
The salad was easy and fast to make. I just gathered the ingedients I desired. I would have like a boiled egg, but I was too lazy to make some. Anyway, the picture above shows the ingredients of spinach, pre-cut tomatoes, cucmber, Italian dressing, and croutons. As I said, you can add other things like cubed cheese, cubed meats, and crumbs of bacon, if you'd like.

| The salad in the container is tossed best upside-down. |
I assembled the salad. First, I put in the desired amount of spinach leaves. I added the pre-cut tomatoes, cucumbers, and croutons. Then, I poured some of the dressing and two small pinches of salt. The next part was fun because I cover the salad and turn the container upside down and shook. (This is so funny to me because I'm listening to a song with the words, "Shake, shake, shake...")
There are some considerations when making a salad.
 |
| Keep a mini-compost bin. |
When peeling a cucumber, don't throw the scraps in the trash. Have a container handy. You can put those peelings in the container. Later you can throw them in the compost bin. You can make some healthy soil for a garden and reduce trash for the landfill.
 |
| Use a gallon size baggie to keep spinach fresh. |
Something used to discourage me from buying spinach. I would buy the spinach. Then, it would take me a few days to eat it. Sometimes, my family would only consume half of the bag. Now, I put the bag inside a baggie to keep the spinach fresher for a longer time.
Well, I hope you liked my spin on salad making, using spinach.
How about you, my readers? Have you made a salad lately? Why or why not? I encourage you to add spinach; it's touted as a better ingredient than plain iceberg lettuce.
