It's so much more satisfying to get a little bit of everything in each bite. Plus, it's just easier to chew. After transitioning to chopping a few years ago, I can't make salads any other way!Cadryhttp://www.cadryskitchen.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432136369021835716.post-90990329565333283812012-07-13T19:36:19.008-06:002012-07-13T19:36:19.008-06:00I love, love salads but I can always use more tips...I love, love salads but I can always use more tips!

You know I'm a sucker for chopped salads so I love tip #1 :) It is absolutely genius to salt your toppings to create a dressing and also brilliant to dilute your dressing! I'm totally going to start doing that. I also like your tip to drink lots of water. It's so important and you are right, it will definitely keep you full!xvavaveganxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06631140173063582288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432136369021835716.post-60494760460686474572012-07-13T10:45:24.751-06:002012-07-13T10:45:24.751-06:00These are great suggestions, especially #2 about d...These are great suggestions, especially #2 about diluting salad dressing with water.
