Dry greens are the base of a good salad; mix the dressing first, then toss so leaves stay crisp.

Steps

How to make it

Prep 10 min · Cook 0 min

Wash lettuce or other greens and spin or pat completely dry; cut tomato, cucumber, and carrot to bite size.
In a small bowl, whisk olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper into a vinaigrette.
Add all vegetables to a large bowl, drizzle dressing, and toss gently.
Add nuts, cheese cubes, or a boiled egg if you want more staying power.
