Salad Tossed Green
I call this leaving town salad because just as I am ready to travel, I use whatever I have leftover for the salad ingredients.
Ingredients
Apple diced, seeded, cored
Carrot diced into little cubes
Romaine lettuce sliced thinly and rinsed in cold water to crisp it
Shallot thinly sliced or purple onion. If using a purple onion, one can soak it cold water ahead of time to diminish its pungency.
Put the lettuce first in the dish, sprinkle the other ingredients over the top toss lightly.
Lemon Vinaigrette
3 Tablespoons of lemon juice
5 tablespoons of olive oil
1/8 teaspoon of Himalayan salt
Couple grinds of pepper
If not using Myer lemons add a teaspoon of mustard
Shake altogether. Allow the flavors to meld. Can add any fresh herbs you might have around like thyme or cilantro.
