When is a salad more than a side dish? When its pungent fresh vegetables are combined with heartier fare such as pasta, tuna, chicken, shrimp, potatoes, spinach, kalamata olives, eggplant or maderin oranges, then flavored with fresh garlic, onions,lemon juice, pimentos, portobello mushrooms or spicy chili oil.
Of course it must be topped with the cook's personally flavored home-made dressing.
If that's to your taste, we've got your main dish salad.
