I have really been working on trying to have more vegetables on the table at dinner and a salad is an easy way to squeeze in tons of vegetables in just one serving. I made this for dinner the other night and then topped it off with balsamic vinaigrette dressing.

6 cups romaine lettuce, torn into small pieces
4 cups fresh baby spinach
2 cups cherry tomatoes
1 (14 oz) can artichoke hearts, rinsed, drained, and cut into bite-size pieces
1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
3/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
1 small cucumber, sliced
1 (4 oz) can sliced olives, drained
1/2 cup sliced banana peppers (I bought these in a jar, next to the olives. I love them on sandwiches too!)
1 cup fresh shredded Parmesan cheese
8 ounces balsamic vinaigrette dressing

In a large bowl, combine all salad ingredients. Top with your favorite Italian or Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing, or whip up your own Homemade Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing. Makes 15-20 servings for side...
