Instructions
  1. Begin your salad with a base of lettuce, mixed greens and/ or spinach.
  2. Add some color, flavor, crunch and extra nutrients by including any of the following popular vegetables: tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers, mushrooms, jicama, carrots, beets, radishes, broccoli, cauliflower or cabbage.
  3. Add more flavor and extra nutrients by mixing in a small amount of herbs such as dill, mint, cilantro or parsley
  4. Add a healthy fat like such as ½ avocado, 2 tablespoons nuts and seeds (choose one of your healthy favorites like walnuts, almonds, pumpkin or sunflower seeds).
  5. For the dressing you can keep it simple with 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil and some fresh lemon juice or organic apple cider vinegar. The basic ratio for oil and vinegar is one part vinegar with 3-4 parts oil, so for example, 1/2 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar would be balanced with 1.5 or 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add pepper to taste.
