Tossed Garden Salad with Carrot and Red Cabbage

One of the best things about garden salad recipes is how wonderfully crunchy they are. Using crisp ingredients like onion, lettuce, carrots and red cabbage gives the garden salads a wonderful texture. Also, because of the typical ingredients in them, garden salads tend to be really colorful. You can usually tailor the ingredients in a garden salad recipe to suit your own taste.
