Ingredients:

For the Salad Base

For the Toppings:

  • to taste of salt - ideally freshly ground (adjust if needed, to taste )

* I prefer a combination of baby spinach, kale, and iceberg lettuce, but you can’t go wrong with any other kind. Thoroughly clean and tear/chop or buy a ready-to-go bag of your favorite.
** Use the herbs you like or have available. I like an equal combination of basil, oregano, and thyme.
