  • About

Choose a mix from the following categories for an abundant and filling salad and a feast of protective phytochemicals. Whenever possible, choose organic produce.

Ingredients

Green and Leafy Vegetables

  • Use a total of about 8 cups (2 L). Here is a suggested combination:
  • 4 cups (1 L) mixed salad greens, lightly packed

Method

Put the green and leafy vegetables in a large bowl. Top with the colorful vegetables and herbs and stir until well combined. If the entire salad will be served at once, add the plant protein and starches. If you’re going to save some for another day, store the protein superstars and starches (and avocado, if using) separately so they can be added fresh just before serving. Mix in the salad dres
