Large Leafy Green Salad

Remember at least 50% of your meal should be raw living. Use a blend of your favorite greens, the more variety you have daily, the healthier you will be. This time I used: romaine, iceberg and a little leftover radicchio

Salad Dressing:

1/2 Red pepper, thinly sliced

1/4 red onion, thinly sliced

1 1/2 Tablespoons red wine vinegar

1 1/2 Tablespoons olive oil

Sea salt to taste

Instructions

Before I start cooking dinner I always make my salad dressing first, this lets the flavors really come alive in the dressing.

Most chefs recommend a ratio of 3 to 1 oil to vinegar, but I prefer my salad dressing less oily tasting and more vinegary, I usually go by a 1 to 1 vinegar to oil ration, feel free to adjust it to your preference.

1. Add all the ingredients to a small bowl and whisk everything together.

Let it sit for at least 15 minutes

2. Depending on the size of your salad, pour as much dressing as you need and toss to combine.

3. Leftover dressing can be stored in the fridge.
