This is one of the first few salads that I learnt to make and it's still one of those recipes that I turn to whenever I need to whip up a quick and healthy lunch. Its super easy to make if you discount the amount of chopping involved (working moms can chop the veggies in advance if need be).
INGREDIENTS
- Mixed Salad Greens
- A few handfuls diced Bell Peppers, use a variety of colors
- A few handfuls Cherry Tomatoes, sliced in half
- Cucumber - diced (I prefer Persian ones)
- Small red onion - diced
- Handful of Green Onions
- A handful of Kalamata Olives
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced Sundried Tomatoes (I use dried ones - use kitchen scissors to cut them)
- Few pinches of Garlic Powder (optional)
- Black Pepper & salt
- Dressing: Squeeze Lemon Juice & drizzle Olive Oil
- Crumbled Feta cheese/ Goat cheese (totally optional - I use goat cheese once in a while)
- Chopped dill & parsley or cilantro (optional)
METHOD
Start with the salad greens - at times I chop them a bit - so they are easier to eat
Add all the veggies
Top with sun-dried tomatoes, Olives, cheese (if using), salt & pepper, garlic powder
Add the Lime juice and olive oil
Garnish with chopped dill & parsley or cilantro
