Greek / Italian Salad
A clean-out-the-fridge salad with a Greek and Italian flair.
Serves: 1-2
Ingredients
1 cup baby kale
1 cup arugula
1/2 cup red cabbage, shredded
1/2 cup cannellini beans
1/4 cup English cucumber, sliced
1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced
6-8 Kalamata olives
1/4 avocado, sliced
Handful flat-leaf parsley, torn
1 Tbsp pumpkin seeds
1/2 lemon, juiced
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Pinch Himalayan pink salt
Instructions
Combine all greens and cabbage in the base of a bowl.
Add in beans, cucumber, tomato, olives. Lay avocado on top.
Top off with parsley and pumpkin seeds.
Dress with lemon, olive oil and pink salt.
Notes
I highly recommend using fresh cabbage instead of the bagged type. It’s so easy and affordable. Just buy an organic red cabbage, peel off the outer leaves and thinly slice a few layers off to add to the salad. You can also use a mandolin if you have one. Store the whole cabbage in a bag in the fridge.
Get creative with the lettuces you use! I prefer the peppery taste of the arugula and the flavor of the kale. But you can also use spinach or romaine.
