- 2 cups salad greens of your choice, torn into bite-sized pieces
- 1-2 persian cucumbers, diced
- ¼ cup red onion, green onion or leek, chopped
- 2-3 radishes, chopped

- ¼ cup red cabbage, chopped
Ingredients on the Side
- 1-2 carrots, sliced
- 1 avocado, cut into half, then into slices
Instructions
- Layer the veggies in your salad bowl starting with the lettuces and greens, cucumber, onion, radishes, etc.
- When all ingredients are in the bowl, mix with salad serving utensils.
- Add dressing and mix again.
- Serve salad onto plates, adding slices of avocado on the side.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- I like to munch on the carrots while I make the salad and then add any extras to the bowl.
- To keep the avocado looking and tasting its best, squeeze a little lemon on each half before you serve it.
- You can add the dressing to the entire bowl or serve the salad onto plates and let each person add it their serving.
