Standard Dinner Salad

Standard Dinner Salad

Ingredients:
1 head of lettuce cleaned and cut – you can mix up the taste of this salad by using
different types of lettuces each time
Green leaf or red leaf lettuce
Butter lettuce
Romaine lettuce
Spinach
Or you can also use boxed pre-cleaned mixed lettuce
1 English cucumber diced (long skinny one wrapped in plastic)
2 tomatoes diced
1 handful of hemp seeds
Olive oil to taste – or whatever cold-pressed oil you prefer
Sea salt / Real salt to taste
Kitchen Items Required:
Salad Spinner which also acts as salad bowl
Knife
Cutting Board
Other Options to Consider: Because we make this very basic dinner salad so often we
tend to mix up the vegetables we use to keep the salad exciting. Sometimes we will add
diced avocado, zucchini, broccoli, bell peppers, carrots, celery, beets, artichokes, olives,
etc. There are nights where we will also add a can of organic canned beans (like garbanzo,
red, pinto, great northern) after rinsing them.
Steps:
1. Chop and clean lettuce using salad spinner or just add lettuce to bowl from pre-
cleaned box. Use the salad spinner bowl as your salad bowl to save on dishes.
2. Clean and dice cucumbers and tomatoes and add them to bowl.
3. Add a handful of hemp seeds.
4. Add olive oil and sea salt / Real Salt to taste – mix well and enjoy!
5. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
Mexican Salad
We love making this salad on taco night or when we are eating any Mexican dish. It has
amazing flavor and always adds a bit of freshness to the table.
