Description
A delicious and healthy salad perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2–3 cups salad greens
- 1/4 – 1/2 cup vegetables or fruit
- 1/3 to 1/2 cup lean protein or plant protein
- 2–3 tablespoons cheese
- 2–3 tablespoons nuts or seeds
- 1/4 cup extras like croutons, tortilla strips, olives, etc.
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon vinegar (red vinegar or apple cider vinegar)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Pinch of salt and black pepper
Instructions
- Add the ingredients for the vinaigrette to a wide-mouth mason jar. Seal the lid and shake vigorously. You can also use a stick blender (immersion blender) to blend the ingredients in the mason jar.
- Toss the greens in your favorite salad bowl, then add your salad toppings. Lightly drizzle the dressing around the outer edge of the ingredients and gently fold the dressing into the ingredients.
- Add delicate ingredients like avocado, Feta cheese and raspberries last after you’ve tossed the salad with dressing so they don’t get smashed up in the toss.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider using fresh herbs in the salad.
- Adjust the amount of vinaigrette to your taste preference.
