Best Green Salad Recipes – Top 10

My mom makes the best fresh, crisp, green salad. The. Best. Period. But… I’m no slouch when it comes to making one, and neither are these amazing food bloggers. Today I’m featuring the top 10 Best Green Salad Recipes!

Is there such a thing as salad season? Is it summertime when the shelves are bursting with fresh, ripe, red tomatoes and crisp cucumbers galore? Is it spring when peas, lettuce and radishes are at their best?

Or maybe it’s fall with all those wonderful tuber veggies like carrots and beets? (I LOVE beets! In fact, here’s my beet salad recipe, which is amazing, but it didn’t even make my list of the best green salad recipes. You should check it out anyway… lol!)

I can probably safely rule out winter as “salad season” (but, boy is it awesome soup season!)

Tips for making awesome salads

• Always try to buy fresh ingredients that are in season.
• Ingredients like lettuce and cucumbers taste better and are crunchier when they’re cold. But others like tomatoes and beets have more flavor at room temperature.
• Pre-cut crunchy veggies like peppers and celery then put them with some water in a zip-top baggie in the fridge to maximize crispness.
• When using raw onions, leave them in pieces that are large enough for people to pull them out if they don’t want to eat them. Many people love the flavor of raw onion, but cannot digest them well and would prefer to take them out of the salad.
• Add the dressing just before serving so the salad doesn’t get soggy.
