Salad gets a bad wrap for being too healthy or for people on diets. But they can be tasty and are so easy to make. Using any green as a base, just empty your fridge and pantry into your bowl and you have a quick meal any time of day. I didn’t have any meat or fish leftover today since we had pizza Friday last night, so I sprinkled some flax meal into the dressing. It’s an easy, tasteless way of adding protein. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
