I actually used some trail mix in this salad!! Yes that is weird but I tell you try it next time you make a salad. it is just amazing. The nuts and dry fruits give a nice chewy/nutty texture to the salad and makes it sweet and salty!
Have you ver been to Souplantation/Sweet Tomatoes? Do try it if you have one near your place. I have never been a salad person earlier until I visited Souplatiation! They have an array of soups, salads, flatbread and dessert in a buffet style and very affordable!! Real food and healthy indeed!!
Coming on to my salad, I will have to tell you this salad is truly inspired from the salads in Souplantation. I threw in various ingredients I had in my pantry and refrigerator to make it a fun and colorful meal!
My salad mix contains:
Lettuce
Fresh Baby Spinach Leaves
Cherry tomatoes from my little garden
Baby Carrots
Fresh Diced Pineapple
Boiled chickpeas/garbanzo beans
Trail Mix - Contains raisins, walnuts, almonds, Macademia and Brazil nuts
Raspberry Vinaigrette
Just toss all the ingredients with the drssing. Chill and Serve!
