6 - 8 oz. mixed greens and baby spinach, washed 1/3 cup baby carrots, sliced thin 1 celery stalk, sliced thin 1/2 cup grape tomatoes 1 cup Calamata olives 1 cucumber, peeled and sliced thin 1 6-oz. can hearts of palm, sliced thin 1 6-oz. pickled baby corn 4 oz. crumbled real bacon pieces 8 oz. goat cheese 1 box croutons 1 8-oz. jar pickled beets 1 8-oz jar pickled artichoke hearts
Arrange greens in large salad bowl. Arrange remaining ingredients as artfully as possible to create your own masterpiece. For example the carrots, celery, tomatoes and olives can be arranged on top of greens. Add cucumber slices vertically around the edge of the bowl. Make a pattern with the hearts of palm and baby corn and then top the whole thing off with bacon and cheese. Once you serve the salad on bowls or plates, serve the croutons, and pickled beets and artichoke hearts as accompaniments to the salad and let each person decide how much to add to their own personal masterpiece. Serve with a variety of dressings and hot crusty bread.
The Skinny: Serve with low fat dressings. There are other ingredients that you can add to zip up the salad such as thin sliced red onion, green peppers, kidney beans, green peas and sliced water chestnuts
