Eat this salad almost every day—sometimes twice a day. Feel free to vary the ingredients using the SuperFoods. Add a handful of your favorite chopped fresh herb, 1 tablespoon grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, or 2 tablespoons roasted nuts or seeds. The quantity is for one person, but you can easily multiply the ingredients to serve more.
1 cup spinach torn into bite-size pieces
1 cup chopped romaine
¼ cup shredded red cabbage
½ cup sliced red bell pepper
½ tomato, chopped
¼ cup chickpeas; if canned, rinse well
½ cup grated carrot
¼ avocado, cubed
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
Combine the spinach, romaine, cabbage, red pepper, tomato, chickpeas, carrot, and avocado in a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil and vinegar. Toss the dressing with the salad just before serving.
