My addiction to salads has given me the most treasurable souvenirs of smell, taste and well being.
You think there would not be any more salads left to talk about, I don't agree, I've seen my girlfriends creating assorted raw vegetables with cheeses, nuts, fruits which had such an affinity for each other. Salads are so beautiful and enjoyable either for a simple family and friends lunch or a grand buffet.
Here is an assortment of small vegetable salads, more combinations can found in secondary pages.
