Salad Ingredients
  • 4 cups Mixed greens Assorted greens like lettuce and spinach
  • 1 cup Cherry tomatoes Halved
  • 1 cup Cucumber Diced
  • 1 cup Carrots Shredded or diced
  • 1/2 medium Red onion Finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup Your favorite dressing Any preferred dressing

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash and dry the mixed greens.
  2. Chop the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, carrots, and red onion into bite-sized pieces.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens with the chopped vegetables.
  4. Drizzle your favorite dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
  5. Serve immediately as a side dish.

Notes

Use cold vegetables for extra crunch and pat them dry after washing to avoid a soggy salad. Keep the dressing separate when storing leftovers, and toss with dressing just before serving.
