This recipe for a simple side salad answers the question of what to have for a side dish with brunch. A side salad is a great way to lighten up a rich meal.
We like a salad dressing that is 50/50 oil and vinegar instead of the usual 65/35 ratio with more oil. This recipe is simple and you can sure add you own additional items. Don’t go to crazy, it’s supposed to be a side to the main star of the show. Make sure it compliments the other items you are servings and doesn’t overwhelm them.
