The theme for Cook with Us #6: Inventive Salad

A well-composed salad can be the most satisfying of meals. Cool and crisp lettuces, shaved veggies, lentils, caramelized onions, cheese, grilled meats and maybe some fried shallots and croutons, all pulled together with a zesty vinaigrette. All of the different textures and flavors work to create an interesting, tasty, healthful and light meal.

This week we would like to see your favorite inventive salad. Let your imagination run and see what you come up with. Let us know about any ingredients that we might not know about or any interesting story behind your dish.

Get your kids involved! It could be a fun way to get them to eat their veggies.

If you have any suggestions for future themes, let us know. And please don't forget to comment and upvote each other's posts in the Cook with Us community.

We wish you good luck and look forward to your creations!
