Okay. So I don’t have any idea what to name this salad I just made. I just thought I’d eat some –well, a lot of– greens today to balance out what I’ve been eating out of your sight the past few days that I haven’t been posting. {Since I don’t have a yoga ball yet}
If I’m going to name this based on the ingredients I put in it, it would probably be called Almond Kiwi Apple Carrot Red Cabbage Alfalfa Salad and it wouldn’t be as appetizing as I had envisioned. So I resigned into naming it just Almond Kiwi Alfalfa Salad.
I’ve made a few salad over the years but most of them are either pasta salads, like the Pesto Pasta Salad with Roasted Bell Peppers I made for peanutbutter♥‘s birthday two years ago or dessert salads like this Mango Pandan Salad.
And a confession: I don’t really know how to make a beautiful green salad unless it’s in a jar like this Salad in a Jar. I think today is the first I’m happy about how my green salad looks.
Another confession: I’m a secret salad lover. I crave for it the way I crave for dessert. It’s just a thing with me.
Can we have more salads this 2013? You bet.
Like I said earlier, it’s all about balancing things out.
We’ll have more salads…
so we can have more cakes, cookies and maybe some ice cream too if I get my hands on an ice cream maker…

Such a healthy fresh salad. We love kiwi here but never tried it in a salad.
Looks yummy and healthy, I love kiwi, but I have never tried to eat it with veggies. I should try that 🙂
I am a salad lover too, me and my 4 year old son. That boy, can eat raw vegetable salad everyday. It is healthy food so I don’t mind him asking for salad always.

I’m with you – I love salads and I especially love salad with fruit in them! I need to start looking for kiwi. This salad looks delicious!
Hi Ken, I’m using a Canon Rebel XTi {400D}. It’s already phased out. Thanks for the compliment!
Your salad not only looks great but also very healthy. 🙂
