I usually don’t make fancy salads. I end up eating them at restaurants often and it takes a lot of ingredients to make it fancy. However, one day I looked in my fridge and realized I had collected little bits and pieces that together could make a really good salad. If you don’t have one or more of these ingredients, don’t worry. The recipe won’t be ruined as salads are very forgiving. I mean, after all, they let you toss them and then eat them.
Ingredients:
1 head green leaf lettuce, chopped
1/2 head iceberg lettuce, chopped
handful of spinach
2 stems of basil, leaves only- I used ajaka and red basil because that’s what I had,
1 handful of cilantro, chopped
1 stalk of celery, diced
1/2 bunch of green onions- green part only, sliced
Dressing: Ken Martin’s Sweet Vidalia Onion dressing. Surprisingly, it looks creamy yet has no gluten, dairy, or eggs in it.
Directions:
Wash and chop all ingredients. You may use more or less of any ingredient if that’s what you have around. The basil is a really nice touch, so I would include some form of basil if you have it. You could also toss in some carrots, tomatoes, etc. for some color.
Top with your favorite dressing and enjoy!
