I planted lots of lettuce this spring, in the hopes that it would inspire me to make more salads. It worked. Here’s what I put in my salad today. It was particularly tasty…

1/2 bunch spinach, chopped

~7 medium-size red chard leaves, leaves chopped into ribbons, stems chopped

1/2 bunch watercress, chopped (stems included)

good handful mung bean sprouts

2 carrots, sliced (I used one that was purple!)

~1 cup red cabbage, finely chopped

3 scallions, sliced

some cherry tomatoes, quartered

3 small cloves of garlic from my garden (probably less if store-bought), minced

drizzle of olive oil

Himalayan sea salt, to taste

Wash, dry, and process all ingredients. Then combine & toss in a large salad bowl. Enjoy!
