I’m going to be completely honest here and tell I don’t really like salad.  Even when I’m trying to eat healthy or lose weight, I just don’t want to eat salad.  I get so bored with salads.  In the summer, it’s not as bad as there is always new and fresh vegetables to add to the salad or even fruit, like I did in my Berry Salad.  But in the winter, one can only eat so much lettuce, cucumbers and tomatoes before you just can’t enjoy it anymore!!  

But if I change salads up a little bit, I’m much more willing to eat them.  And this one was good! And it’s so pretty, that you can even serve it at a dinner party.  In fact, I first made this to take to Christmas dinner as a lighter option to all those heavy sides.  I’m listing the ingredients to make an individual Craisins Green Salad but just add more of everything if you are making for your whole family or guests.
