Ingredients

  • General Green, such as red leaf lettuce
  • Tender Green, such as Spinach
  • Bitter Breen, such as cabbage, or raddicio, or arugula
  • Bell Peppers, 1 Green, 1 Red, 1 Yellow or Orange
  • Onions or onion variants, approximately 1/2 cup chopped
  • Mushrooms, 1 cup, sliced thinly
  • Cherry Tomatoes, 1-1.5 cups, sliced in half on a Bias
  • Starch of your choice, about 1 cup after preparation
  • Cheese, I like to grate parmesan onto the salad when I serve it but you can use any cheese you like it adds both flavor and texture, if not grated cube it very small and use about 1/2 a cup.
  • Poblano Peppers, chopped (optional)

Directions

  1. 1
    Wash your greens, then cut them into appropriate sizes. The amounts you use will depend on how many you are making the salad for, but you want to fill about 2/3 of your bowl with your greens, and you want about half your general green, 1/4 of your tender green and 1/4 of your bitter green.
  2. 2
    Chop your onions very fine, then sweat them in a medium heat pan with salt and pepper, once the sweat occurs, add your starch to take flavoring. If you like hot foods as I do you can add a finely minced hot pepper as well.
  3. 3
    Chop your bell peppers into small pieces about 1/4 inch or so then add them to the bowl
  4. 4
    Slice your cherry tomatoes in half on a bias and add them to the bowl
  5. 5
    If you are going to use a poblano chop it roughly and add it
  6. 6
    Add your prepared starch to the bowl
  7. 7
    Toss until mixed, then cover and refrigerate for an hour and serve with your grated cheese on top.
