Sometimes all you want at the end of a long summery day is a really great salad. Tonight was one of those nights. This is a variation on my 5 Ingredient Salad, posted here earlier. Instead of one of my homemade dressings I decided to try this funky stuff I found in a grocery liquidation store. It's really interesting, low carb, gluten free and full of all sorts of healthy things - some of which I've never even heard of.
First make your lettuce mix. Be creative. Today this is what I had in the 'fridge, but it varies each time. This will be enough for several big salads. Any leftover lettuce mix stores well in a Ziplock bag:
1 sm head of red Boston lettuce
1 heart of Romaine
1 c shredded cabbage
fresh basil and cilantro
Chop the above, wash and dry well in a salad spinner.
In a big individual bowl, combine a big handful of the lettuce mix with:
3/4 c frozen peas - thaw in a strainer in warm water
1/2 avocado - sliced
1 sm tomato - quartered and sliced
1/8 lg Vidalia onion - sliced
Gorgonzola crumbles
Pepper and dressing
Ahhhh Summer - - Welcome to Salad Days. . . Lin
