I usually have mine with pecorino romano and prosciutto. I never thought to mix in chopped arugula though so thanks for the tip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-salad-recipes-sans-fruit#post-1501814 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 14:04:48 +0000 Mommy Finger 1501814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My favorite salad lately is a shaved brussel sprout salad. You shave about 8 or so brussel sprouts and mix with a few handfuls of chopped arugula as well as some toasted slivered almonds, cooked bacon or pancetta, and shaved parmesan. I add a little salt, pepper, and cayenne with olive oil and lemon juice and mix it all up. I love this. And it's a great bed for seared scallops </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-salad-recipes-sans-fruit#post-1501635 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 13:31:25 +0000 snowjewelz 1501635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate fruit in salad too! I usually love mexican themed salad b/c it has avocado, and beans make it filling and love spicy ranch/chipotle sauce! My other go to is greek w/ onions/ tomato, feta &amp; stuffed grape leaves. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-salad-recipes-sans-fruit#post-1501616 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 13:29:27 +0000 plantains 1501616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: thinking this might be dinner tonight </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-salad-recipes-sans-fruit#post-1501614 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 13:29:07 +0000 plantains 1501614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: your fancy salad sounds divine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-salad-recipes-sans-fruit#post-1501555 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 13:19:40 +0000 MrsH 1501555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cucumber, tomato, avocado, balsamic, oil, salt and pepper </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-salad-recipes-sans-fruit#post-1501522 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 13:10:50 +0000 blackbird 1501522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ooo chinese chicken salads.
