Friday Feast #2 ( #LINKY ) Southwestern Chopped Salad

Now, I have not tried this one yet, so I am not sure about it.
I just spotted it on facebook the other day and thought it sounded pretty tasty.

1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 tsp. white wine vinegar
1/8 tsp. salt

Making the salad: Finely chop romaine, bell pepper, tomatoes, and green onions.Place all ingredients in a large bowl and stir to combine.Toss with desired dressing.
The credit given for this particular recipe was to The Garden Grazer .

Since I don't have a picture of this recipe (remember, I have not tried it yet) I thought I would leave you with a photo of Broxton I took.  Enjoy!
He was holding a piece of a tree stump Marc dug out.  I told him it was a dinosaur bone and he wanted to keep it!  He finally understood I was joking and we threw it away, but it was funny for a few minutes!  

Have you tried this particular recipe?  Do you have any salad recipes you would like to share?  Please link up in the linky below!!!
Have a great weekend!!!!

  1. I haven't tried a recipe similar to that one, but it sounds pretty good to me! I can't have avocado, so I'd be subbing the yogurt. Still, the cilantro-lime flavor combination is hard to beat! Let me know if you try it!

  2. The avocado must not be optional! I love avocados!
    Let's put a lot in it :)
    I'd love to make this salad.
    I need to remember to share and link up.

  3. I've been making a lot of salads this week. We went to Costco, and I bought a package of their romaine lettuce. It's gigantic.

    This salad sounds wonderful. I'll have to see if I have time to post a recipe this weekend to link up. I don't have a current one.
