I will let you know when I see one. Not a bad salad but I don't have to make this one again real soon.

This morning I'm feeling like a caprese salad, seemingly simple but actually quite high maintenance when you get down to it because the ingredients have to be just right:-)Rosehttp://oneexpatslife.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4850658802486564843.post-23169715587021856282012-08-19T02:51:33.121-04:002012-08-19T02:51:33.121-04:00Well, Cher, quite a novel idea to categorize perso...Well, Cher, quite a novel idea to categorize person a s salads - well, I am almost afraid then to mention that a grated carrot salad is our favorite salad and that we eat it one a week and we liked this week´s recipe, I hope that does not make us carrot salads... be that as it may, nice presentation and wonderful blog post!

I'm not wild about raisins, so was happy to find currants. And, because I'm not a fan of mustard, I was worried it would overwhelm the other flavors, but it just blended right in. But kudos to all of us for making it.<br /><br />I love the way your mind works! I'd probably go with Waldorf Salad as it has a bit of everything - sweet, savory, crunchy, salty, and definitely NUTS! xoxoSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03013133019797358257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4850658802486564843.post-18248732785314991722012-08-18T18:19:23.707-04:002012-08-18T18:19:23.707-04:00I wasn't wowed by this either though I'll ...I wasn't wowed by this either though I'll admit that salads are my favorite thing to make. What kind of salad would I be? I'd be a bread salad, seemingly weird if you've never met one before but versatile and comforting once you do.

I absolutely know ME: Strawberry Jello loaded with Libby's fruit cocktail with extra maraschino cherries added and topped with marshmallows cut in thirds. Yes, I call that a salad and it still is my favorite. Why? Very Iowa. Very, very obvious and "out there". Unsophisticated. (I've never been accused of being haute.) Happy. A Willing Participant. Just love this carrot salad also. If you're dieting (and, I often am), it really fills you up.
