Salad is something that has become a part of our dinner these days. So I started exploring new ideas and variations for the same.One such recipe is this where you can use almost whatever you have.Very simple and versatile. Each time when you add something new to this salad , it becomes more tastier :)
I have used a fresh homemade vinaigrette with lemon and orange.The mild sweetness from the orange and sourness from lemon and the aroma and zing from the lemon rind just works wonderful with this salad.
Now lets get to the recipe
Ingredients
Purple cabbage (Thinly shredded ) - 1 cup
Carrot (julienned ) - 3/4 cup
Granny Smith Apple(julienned) - 1 cup
Lettuce (Thinly shredded) - 1 cup
kalamata olives Few
Pickled jalapeno Few
Croutons Few
Parmesan cheese As needed
For Vinaigrette
Lemon Juice 2 Tbsp
Orange Juice (Freshly squeezed) 1 Tbsp
Olive Oil 2 Tbsp
lemon Zest 1 tsp
Salt
Pepper
Method
Mix all the ingredients for vinaigrette in a small bowl and whisk together completely.
In a wide bowl , take all the vegetables and add the vinaigrette and mix thoroughly.
Top it up with croutons and Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
Note
You can add cherry tomatoes and baby spinach too. Also be liberal with your cheese.
