Salads in the winter?

I generally have a hard time motivating myself to eat salads when it's cold out. Hot, savory foods just sound better when the snow is blowing. I may have stumbled onto a solution though. My sister recommended a salad kit that she liked and, while that one didn't appeal to me, I tried a couple others. The key is variety; instead of keeping two types of dressing on hand, I now have five and I've been enjoying daily salads.

I have to admit that I am very concerned about the covid variants. If it follows the first wave, South Dakota will get spread later than higher population states, but when it hits it will be dreadful. Expected deliveries of vaccines have been delayed or drastically reduced globally. Each new positive case is a potential for new mutations which could lead to a new variant. This disease is truly insidious.

Funny, just when I could use a friendly cuddle, my cat is in deep-sleep mode on the bed.

I have a hard time thinking "salad" when it's cold out too! Even so, I get a hankering for fresh foods and salad always hits the spot.

I try really hard to get salads into us this time of year even when the ingredients are all store bought and nothing is fresh from the garden. Well, grated beets and sliced carrots and onion rings may not be fresh from the garden but at least they are from the garden! Just when I'm on a kick of salads as our main veggie, I remember all those other frozen veggies I put up from the garden and think I should be using more of them! We are truly blessed to have so much good food to try to get into our diets. ;o)
