It's fun to share a different kind of tossed salad. The warm, tangy dressing wilts the greens in the most delicious way. Almonds provide a bit of crunch to round out this colorful side dish.

Salad Shake-Up

When making a salad for dinner, I tear the lettuce and chop the vegetables, then put them all in a clean plastic bag and shake. This mixes the ingredients better and easier than tossing in a bowl. —Therese G., Scottsdale, Arizona
