Do you mean for a demo, Jenna?
My three favorites to demo are:
Strawberry Spinach Salad
Deluxe Cheeseburger Salad
and my all time fav - 7 layer Southwestern Salad!
At home, I like to make a BBQ Chicken Salad.
Romaine, with shredded carrots, red onion, black beans, corn, cheddar cheese, and a grilled chicken breast - with a salad dressing made from half Ranch, and half BBQ sauce. Yummy!
