There are only so many green salads I can eat with vinegarette dressing before I start to get COMPLETELY BORED! Can you all offer some other tasty and easy ideas? The other salad I make myself occassionally is tomato, cucumber and red onion in balsamic vinegar and a dash of olive oil. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Salad:
3 cups cooked spiral macaroni
3/4 cup tomato chopped
2/3 cup cucumber chopped1/2 cup chopped bell pepper
1/3 cup green onions
1/3 cup chopped ripe olives
Toss all ingredients. Cover and chill for about 30 minutes.
Dressing:
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil (I prefer peanut oil)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
Stir all ingredients until thourghly blended
