5-Ingredient Salad

I make these a lot. Once you find a mix you really love, you'll always want to have some in the 'fridge. My perfect 5-Ingredient Salad consists of:

~Lettuce Mix – a blend of any 3 of these is good: iceberg, baby romaine, red cabbage, red butter lettuce, red frieze, green cabbage, green butter lettuce, green frieze, oak leaf, arugula, radicchio, etc. . .

~Onions – green, red, white or yellow

~Cucumbers – pickling or mini English cucumbers

~Tomatoes – any size, shape or color

~Avocado – a perfect one – not too ripe

Once the lettuce mix is prepped - chopped, washed and spun dry in a salad spinner - it keeps nicely in a covered container for many days, ready for whatever other ingredients you want to add.

Try mine or pick your own – thin-sliced carrots, fresh mushrooms, baby zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower, etc. It's nice knowing a fresh, healthy salad can be ready in just minutes. . .Lin
