I almost ALWAYS bring a salad to work with me to have at lunch. It’s the time of day when I get my veggie servings in. I tend to get bored easily, especially in the salad dressing department, so when I saw this Lemon and Olive Oil dressing recipes, I was super excited!
Ingredients
- Salad
- 1 cup spinach, torn into bite size pieces
- 1/2 avocado, chopped (refrigerate the other half for another salad) (optional)
- 1/3 red onion thinly sliced (refrigerate the remaining 2/3 for another salad)
- 1/2 cucumber, sliced
- 1 carrot, grated
- 8 almonds, sliced
- 1 cup sprouts
- 1/2 cup fresh parsley
- 1 tomato, diced
- 1 cup (chopped) roasted chicken breast, optional
- Dressing
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Sea Salt to taste
Directions
Add the salad ingredients to a large bowl and toss to combine. In a small bowl whisk together dressing ingredients and drizzle over salad. This recipe can easily be made into a family salad by increasing the ingredients.
