Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Lettuce: Wash and dry the lettuce. Tear into bite-sized pieces and place in a large salad bowl.
- Spinach and Arugula: Wash and dry the spinach and arugula. Add them to the bowl with the lettuce.
- Basil: Wash the basil leaves, pat them dry, and tear into smaller pieces or roughly chop them. Add to the salad bowl.
- In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of mustard.
- Add a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper.
- Whisk the ingredients together until they form a smooth and emulsified dressing.
- Pour the dressing over the combined greens in the salad bowl.
- Gently toss the salad using tongs or your hands until all the greens are evenly coated with the dressing.
- Transfer the salad to a serving bowl or individual plates.
- Serve immediately for the freshest taste.
Tips:
- Ensure the greens are washed and thoroughly dried before assembling the salad to avoid excess water diluting the dressing.
- For added flavor, consider substituting the vinegar with balsamic or apple cider vinegar.
- Feel free to add extra ingredients like cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, or avocados for a more filling salad.
- Gently toss the salad with the dressing just before serving to keep the greens crisp and fresh.
- Adjust the amount of mustard to your taste if you prefer a stronger or milder kick in the dressing.
And there you have it—a refreshingly zesty green salad that is as nutritious as it is flavorful. Whether you’re serving it as a main course or alongside your favorite dish, this salad is sure to impress with its simplicity and taste. Enjoy!
