A Beautiful Salad

A little over a week ago, we had a play date at a friend’s house.  The adults and kids had a good time. I brought this salad over, and after I put it together at home, I had to take its picture.

The colors were vivid, and quite honestly, I think the salad was beautiful.  It is simple to make too! A double bonus was that everything but the carrots came from the local farmer’s market.

1/2 head of red leaf lettuce, chopped

1 carrot, quartered and sliced

a handful of radishes, quartered and sliced

A handful of sweet turnips, quartered and sliced

Salad dressing of choice

I put the lettuce in the bowl, followed by the radishes, turnips and carrots.  I ate the leftovers for lunch during the week. Often times, I make a salad or a lot of mini-salads on Sunday and then have them for lunch all week long. You can spruce that basic salad up by adding tuna, avocado, or left over chicken.

You don’t know what you are missing if you’ve never had a great salad.
