Bart's Salad Recipe • Author of B.S. The Book, Bart Smith, Shares His Salad Recipe With You!

Let's be honest, we all know that salads are good for us. So, why don't more people eat them? Well, for this very simple reason: "They just (taste) so dang boring!" Right? I can just hear what folks say/think when it comes to salads ... "None for me, thanks. I just don't like the taste of salad. It's so boring." Or, "Just a small salad for me, thanks, they never taste as great as the main meal." Or, "I don't like vegetables." Right? Can you imagine folks saying things like this? Sure you can ...

Well, several years ago, I decided (in order to keep my weight down to look slim 'n' trim), that I've got to start liking and eating salad at least 3x per week (as a main meal). So, I thought long and hard about what I could do to MY salad that would make me want to eat salad (as a main meal) three or more times per week (for either lunch and/or dinner). Well, here's what I discovered ...

I discovered: (1) I didn't have to "settle" for just any ol' salad and (2) that I was free to "build my own" and add anything I wanted to make it taste great and to my (precise) liking! And, that's just what I did! As a result, I now have the perfect salad (ingredient combination) that I find to be such a joy to prepare and consume any time I want, day or night.

Having made this salad for so many others (i.e., friends, family, guests and skeptics), see for yourself, if this isn't the best tasting salad you've ever had! So, without further adieux, grab a plate (or bowl), your utensils and your appetite and let's dig in!

The following salad serves 1 person (as a main meal). Simply double it to serve two, etc.

Make and eat this salad 3-5 times per week for the rest of your life! Sometimes, I'll have this salad as a main course during the middle of the day. Then, I might follow up with a light meal for dinner. Also, you can make this particular salad, eat 1/2 of it for lunch and the other half for dinner. It's all up to you. It really is/can be a filling salad.

The best part about this salad is the combination of dried cranberries and mixed nuts. Wow, I never (like to) have a salad without adding some dried cranberries and a few mixed nuts. The combination of the two really add variety and flavor to your salad. Instead of munchin' down on all those greens, it's sweet to bite into a cranberry now and then, or snack on a few nuts (while eating) your salad 'cause they're already in there!

Drink only water with your meal, no desserts afterward, workout and follow my diet and you can lose weight! I do, and so do friends and clients! It’s amazing! My diet formula really works! No

Frankly, I don’t care for salads and thought that Bart was full of

when he bragged about his delightfully delicious salad concoction! Well, when he handed me my bowl of salad and I took the first mouthfuls my taste buds exploded and my heart sung! Bart’s salad was fresh, sweet, crunchy and healthy, and all at the same time! Absolutely delicious! I demanded a second helping immediately and gobbled that one up in no time. Bart, I apologize for doubting you. I am so thrilled to have enjoyed a simple, healthy recipe for a great salad (with you) that even I, an absolute klutz in the kitchen, can prepare with ease. Everybody MUST try Bart’s salad recipe at least once for a wonderfully healthy meal. You will love it and YOU WILL find time to make it over and over again! Thanks Bart!” — Marlene Green, New York

I don't really like salad. But, with the slices of red grape in there, now I'm a fan! This (salad) is excellent!" — Mike, Ontario, Canada
