I call this a a "random salad" because it's the kind of salad you just throw together with what's on hand when you aren't feeling really inspired to make something extravagant. Despite its origins, I thought it was actually quite lovely (tasty too).
Random Salad I
Handful of butter lettuce, torn
Handful of frisee
Handful of arugula
1/3 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
1/2 cup grape tomatoes, halved
2 scallions, chopped
1/3 cup dried cranberries
2 tbsp. crumbled goat cheese
Balsamic vinaigrette dressing to taste (about 3 tbsp. recommended)
Combine everything in big salad bowl and enjoy.
Cranberries are always welcome in salads! I've been making daily lunchtime visits to a salad bar near my office and I always threw in some cranberries -- until a few days ago, when they replaced them with raisins. Just isn't the same.
