Once you start eating in season, you'll quickly realize that the tomato, lettuce, and cucumber salad is a farce --- lettuce is best in spring, fall, and winter when tomatoes and cucumbers are only far-off memories.  But what else can you put in a lettuce salad?  Here are some ideas:

• grated carrots
• Egyptian onion tops
• roasted almonds
• sliced strawberries (or softened strawberry jam in winter)
• snow or sugar snap peas
• chopped oranges
• dried fruits or vegetables - cranberries, raisins, and tomatoes are all good choices (although perhaps not together)

What are your favorite in-season salads?
