Me too. I hate cleaning the lettuce though. Actually I hate cleaning the salad spinner.
Anyway…
I love a raspberry vinaigrette . Heres an easy one to make.
It goes great on any salad especially with chopped walnuts or chopped. almonds.
INGREDIENTS
6 ounces fresh raspberries, washed
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon Pompeian Red Wine Vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
honey to taste (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
Push berries through a fine mesh strainer into a small bowl, first with fork (to mash) and then with the back of a spoon to push all the fruit through. If a few seeds squeeze through it’s no big deal. This should yield about 1/2 cup of raspberry puree.
Using a fork or a small whisk, whisk in Pompeian Red Wine, olive oil, and salt, pepper and honey if desired. Taste and season again as needed. Store in fridge until ready to use or for up to one week. The oil may harden a bit in the fridge, so plan to leave it out on the counter for about 30 minutes prior to use.
I don’t bother with the honey.

I like those salads too!
Here’s another good easy one I love.
I only use olive oil though. And for some reason it feels so good on butter lettuce.

That one sounds good too. Maybe on a salad with a pasta dish

Sorry to go off topic. But aren’t you or were you near those horrible fires? Everything ok? Or better or less worse? It’s hard to find any news other than the political shit show.

What a great thread!
I’ve been noshing on variations of the link below (buddha bowl) all summer… …and unlike the author, I put chicken in mine from time to time. I think it would be even better with bacon on it @AyBee!

I also LOVE the Oh She Glows lemon tahini dressing (with or without nutritional yeast - which tastes fine to me but reminds me of fish food 
)

yes that was us here in Cali! So far the fires are more under control. Unfortunately, the camp for the disabled children in Boulder Creek was completely burned to the ground, along with some farms and houses. But people’s lives were saved and we can see the blue skies again 
Thank you for remembering and asking

I’m so glad you are safe! My heart goes out to anyone who has lost in the fires. There were some in the last few years in my neck of the woods, and while no one lost there lives, it is hard to see people lose everything…

Ya I google that back a week or so ago. So sad. But at least everyone got out. 
Continued prayers.
Wifey and I want to move to Thousand Oaks to be closer to our daughter. But dang. Fire season scares the crap out of us. Course we get fires up here in Flagstaff AZ too. But nothing like the awful stuff y’all get.
Be safe.
Always got a for Cali in my
I’ll let you have your salad thread back now.

Oh yyeesss. It’s been heartbreaking to say the least. Strangely, it is a bit of a comfort to know that most of them started naturally with lightning and not someone’s negligence or intention.

I love the Ranch dressing, the American ranch doesn’t taste the same as our Swedish version but I love both. And blue cheese dressing and Rhode Island.

For super easy stick veggie dip - half mayo, half plain yoghurt and a pinch of salt. If feeling fancy add some herbs.

We use to do that too. And sometimes, not often we still do that. But I think a fresh head of organic lettuce just taste and feels so much better. I think in the hustle and bustle of life raising my family and work I did that all the time.

What’s in there Rhode Island Dressing? Is it similar to Thousand Island Dressing?
