Spring and Summer are the perfect time for salads. The cool, refreshing crunch of a great salad at lunchtime, or as a dinner side just tastes SO GOOD during the warmer months.

But let’s face it, the same old greens with the usual suspects (carrots and cherry tomatoes) can get BORING….. Let me tell you, there is nothing boring about this Garbage Salad.

The name Garbage Salad Recipe may not sound all that appetizing, but all it really means is that this salad has absolutely everything dumped into it: two kinds of lettuce, meat, cheese, and lots of embellishments.

Top it all off with my Copycat Olive Garden Dressing, and it’s a meal all by itself-one you can actually enjoy and feel good about. Because “less” shouldn’t have to mean “no fun.”

• 3 cups Iceberg lettuce, chopped
