Everyone knows how to make a green salad—just wash, dress, and toss. But few know how to make a really great green salad.
With all the varieties of lettuce available, a green salad can take on a whole range of flavours, textures, and colors.
Ingredients:
- Lettuce
- Cucumber
- Spring onion
- Radishes
For dressing:
- Olive oil
- Balsamic vinegar or lemon juice (fresh squeezed)
- Salt
- Black pepper (optional)
- 2 hard boiled Easter eggs (garnish)
- 12 olives (garnish)
Preparation:
1. Gently wash your greens, and dry them on a dishtowel a little bit or use a salad spinner. Cut the leaves, but keep their shape. Put the salad in a bowl and wait until you are ready to eat before adding the dressing.
2. Dressing:
Traditional vinaigrettes consist of 3 parts olive oil to 1 part balsamic vinegar (or lemon juice). But that ratio will vary depending on the oils and vinegars you use and on your own taste. Sprinkle the greens with salt and pepper and toss gently but thoroughly until they’re well coated. Garnish with Easter eggs and olives. Serve the salad immediately.
Tip:
You can buy pre-mixed salad greens. If you bought a bag of pre-washed greens you can skip this step.
