An easy base salad that's anything but basic. Add your favorite veggies or protein to transform this simple salad into a hearty meal.
We especially love this with roasted golden beets, feta cheese, and pumpkin seeds - but choose your own adventure! You really can't go wrong.
- Salad greens
- Seasonal vegetables (radishes, carrots, onions, celery, cabbage, etc...)
- Nuts and seeds, cheese, croutons, or other tasty salad toppers (we love a little crunch in a salad)
FOR VINAIGRETTE:
Recipe easily scales up, below ratios will yield 2-4 servings
- 1/4 c olive oil
- 1 TBSP + 1 tsp vinegar (white or apple cider are great, or try a fruit vinegar)
- 3/4 tsp medi mix
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8+ tsp pepper
- 1+ tsp honey (or other sweetener, optional but does help balance the flavor)
- Combine all vinaigrette ingredients in a jar and shake to emulsify. You may need to shake again just before dressing your salad, since we don't use any stabilizers in our recipe.
- Prepare your salad: add greens (chopped if desired) and hard vegetables to a bowl. Toss with med mix vinaigrette.
- Transfer to serving bowls. Top with soft vegetables, cheese, nuts, seeds, etc...
