good - and easy - salad recipe/dressing?

hey there,

I'm new to to these forums. I registered here cause I want to get into cooking - and I think here are the people that can help me :) Having moved out things get - well let's say things are not so easy anymore when you have to cook for yourself instead of just having to sit down at the table ;)

So, I want to make myself a good salat sometimes. I don't want it to be a "boring" one though - you know only the salad with the dressing. Are there any easy but somehow special variations that I could try out? And also, are there any easy selfmade dressings to fit with them? I don't really want to buy a dressing cause they don't fit my taste too often.

I also made a blog about recipes (http://lostchef.hobbies.homepagenow.com) - well not really a blog it seems that you get some all-in-one solution there - that I want to fill up with some content soon. If I would be allowed to use the recipes that anyone here can contribute it would be great :)

Patty, I'm with you on the salsa, I use it for dressing and also top baked potatoes with it.

I made my Ranch dressing at the restaurants, using buttermilk and yogurt.

do you find it odd if I tell you that I sometimes just drink a spoon of balsamico vinegar? I just love that taste of it :)

I experimented yesterday by just taking some vegetables (tomatoes, paprica, onions) and some pre-boiled rice and putting it altogether into a pan with some olive oil in it. I then put in a cup of sour cream and some curry together with a bit of lemon juice. Result was a tasty dish ;-)

Thanks for the gold medal - thats the first one I get in my life :-)

What makes people want vinegar? yes that's a good question I have to admit. I just...well I just like the taste of it. But when I think about it I like it more when I have just been out of the house in warm weather...somehow odd.

I wanna add a salad dressing I just remembered!!!

sour cream
mustard
fresh crushed garlic
pinch of sugar

Mix it all together well, let sit for a bit and enjoy!

(I think that is all the ingredients.)
