My daughter and I eat a salad nearly every day for lunch, (and it amazes me that a 3-year-old requests this on a daily basis too)! I've never thought about putting this on here, since it's such a simple, throw-together type meal, but I've had a few requests to do so, and I don't want to let anyone down. ;)
I always try to buy fresh organic produce to make my salads, and my goal is to make it as colorful as possible, using a variety of beautiful and crunchy vegetables.
(Also, healthy fats and/or proteins are essential in this if you want your salad to satisfy and sustain you.)
FOR THE SALAD:
(I aways include an avocado to my salads, and/or raw cheese and/or a soft boiled egg)
- Any favorite salad greens ( I usually use romaine, or a spring mix), roughly chopped
- carrots
- red, yellow, or orange peppers
- cherry tomatoes
- cucumbers
- avocado
- soft boiled egg (boiled for no longer than 3 minutes)
*I'll let you decide on your measurements, and add or make changes as desired. :)
FOR THE DRESSING
- extra virgin olive oil, to taste
- balsamic or apple cider vinegar (I prefer balsamic for this though), to taste
- sea salt, to taste
- nutritional yeast flakes, to taste
DIRECTIONS:
1. Assemble salad as desired, and drizzle a good portion of olive oil and vinegar on top. Season with sea salt and nutritional yeast flakes, and devour!
Sounds like one of my favorite salads too. I'll have to try the yeast flakes. I never thought of that. Thanks for humoring me with the salad post. Hugs!
