This salad reminds me of our training days. Simha would create these yummy salads for our work lunches. They would be so flavorful and sumptuous. And lately with our new hydroponic system Gardyn, we just have so much supply of salad greens that his salad skills are back in action! And kids and LOVE it!
I harvested some fresh salad greens from my Gardyn.
A mix of-
Butterhead lettuce
Matilda
Cardinale
Breen
Rouge d'hiver
Add:
Cherry tomatoes (whole/ halved)
Cubes of fresh mozzarella
Shredded mozzarella
1 can of red kidney beans
Season with:
Salt
Pepper
Mix it with salad dressing (home made or store bought)
Crunch it up with some croutons!
Of course you can get creative with this with:
different varieties of home made salad dressings
Simple lemon dressing- lemon juice, chopped cilantro, salt, pepper and olive oil
Tahini dressing- tahini, lemon juice, honey/ agave syrup, salt, red chilli flakes, water
Chilli oil dressing- store bought chilli oil, lemon juice, salt,
Avocado dressing- Blend avocado, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, red chilli flakes
seeds (sunflower, pepita, chia, hemp)
nuts (pecans, almonds, walnuts)
beans (red kidney, garbanzo, pinto, cannellini, black beans)
fruits (mango, strawberry, blueberry, madarins)- personally in our household other than me no one else cares much for fruits in salads so I usually skip that
avocado
pieces of veggie burger (Simha loves to do this and this salad then becomes a meal in itself!)
Options are endless!
