I love salad

Pin It I don't think that's a secret to anyone who knows me :)  I'm not talking a plain o'le garden salad - I like EVERYTHING in my salad - lettuce or spinach, peppers, mushrooms, mandarin oranges, craisins, onions, mushrooms, zucchini (green/yellow), cauliflower, broccoli, cucumber...you name it, I'll throw it in a salad!  Usually I top my salad with salsa rather than salad dressing or maybe even some turkey chili.  Tonight I decided to try something different.  Before I went on vacation, my friend Karen and I went to a place called Liquid Gold.  They sell flavoured olive oils and balsamic vinegars.  For tonight's salad I used chipotle infused olive oil and maple balsamic vinegar....OH MY!!!  My new fav...a way to get in my healthy oils and FABULOUS taste!!  I have some other vinegar flavours to try - mango, lemon, cinnamon...oh the combinations....stay tuned!  I'd show you a picture of tonight's salad, but...um, I ate it THAT quick!

omg i love anything chipotle infused :0) I used to hate (absolutely HATE) eating salads.. i was quite infamous for it until I started adding seasonings and different veggies in.. healthy fats, healthy grains... salsa as you mentioned.. the combinations are so endless I am now a salad lover <3 I hope you share any other great flavor combos you run across.. i havent experimented with flavor infused oils... yet :)
