hospital salad (it's good and good for you!)
(2 RATINGS)
Because I created this recipe in a hospital cafeteria, of all places, that's where the name came from! Yeah...I know it's a weird name for a salad. I've been eating it for years and have yet to come up with a fancy or even just descriptive name. "Romaine, carrot, onion, kidney bean, broccoli and sun-dried tomato vinaigrette salad" although pretty descriptive, isn't exactly what I had in mind. I just call it my favorite healthy salad. I think you'll enjoy it! Use whatever other ingredients or dressing(s) you like, sometimes I even add some sliced black olives, diced tomatoes and sub out black beans for the kidney beans. Even some roasted corn kernels might be nice.
