This salad is a wonderful green salad (plus tomatoes and capsicums) that is a great accompaniment to any meal. Any type of leafy greens can be used and substituted instead of the ingredients below.

Ingredients

  • 150g mixed green organic salad leaves (mignonette, oak leaf, butter leaf, cos)
  • 12 organic snow peas, cut julienne
  • 1 small bunch (handful) organic rocket leaves
  • 1 small bunch (handful) organic baby spinach
  • 1 green or red organic capsicum, sliced finely in 5cm strips
  • 2 organic tomatoes, roughly chopped
  • 3 Tbsp organic extra virgin, cold pressed olive oil
  • 2 Tsp organic lemon juice or balsamic vinegar
  • Salt

Method

  1. Add all ingredients into a large bowl.

  2. Add dressing and toss the salad until all vegetables are covered.

  3. Season with salt to taste.

Organic lettuce and other vegetables should be used, as they tend to have more flavour, more nutrients and less of the nasty chemical residues.
