Nuestra ensalada de la casa

Ingredientes

• 3 ounces mixed greens
• 3 ounces lettuce of your choice (butter lettuce, romaine, artisan lettuce, etc)
• 1 1/2 cups sliced baby cucumbers
• 1 1/2 cups halved cherry tomatoes
• 1 cup freshly shredded carrots (I use a box grater)
• 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onions (or to taste)
• 1 cup croutons
• Freshly grated parmesan cheese for topping (to taste)
• Half a lemon (for serving)
• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 3 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 2 teaspoons honey
• 1 clove garlic, finely grated
• Salt and pepper to taste

Preparación

1. 1

   Make the balsamic dressing: In a mason jar, combine all the dressing ingredients. Seal the jar and shake to combine evenly. Set aside.

2. 2

   In a large serving bowl, arrange a bed of mixed greens and chopped lettuce. Tip: I like to use a salad spinner to wash the greens. This way, they are well wash and dried, which prevents sogginess.

3. 3

   Add the carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and croutons on top of the greens. Drizzle with the prepared dressing (adjust amount to taste) and toss until evenly coated.

4. 4

   Finish with freshly grated parmesan cheese on top and a fresh squeeze of lemon juice to brighten it up. Enjoy!
