Best Tasting Salad in the Universe

June 7, 2011

The medley of ingredients in this salad, make it an eye popper, but the dressing is what sends it into space!   SOOO delicious!

I used ripped up lettuce of several different varies. Use whatever kind of lettuce you like.

* I first wash each piece of lettuce then I lay them down on heavy paper towel, when I’ve got the amount of lettuce I want washed, then I lay  double pieces of  paper towel over top and roll up the lettuce leaves.  (with paper towel below and on top of them).  This is a great way to store lettuce in your fridge and it stays fresh for days without wilting.

I also added  fresh spinach, parsley and cilantro.  I hardly ever make a salad without adding cilantro anymore.  I love it. 

Then I broke up walnut pieces and threw them in. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next came the sugarless shredded cocoanut (available at any health food store & very inexpensive.  I paid 94 cents for the bag you see here.  (it’s also incredible in fruit salads!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I then added an avocado and a tomato.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, hey Dawg, then comes the killer dressing    :-)

As follows:

Fresh grated ginger, extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, & honey.

Experiment with amounts, I just kinda guesstimate, maybe  less lemon juice than olive oil, honey to taste, and not too much ginger   (you’ll figure it out as you go….no matter how I do it and even it I throw it all together without much thought, this combination always comes out great, and I never do it the same every time, so don’t fret about it too much).

Here’s what it looks like before I shook it all up (which you’ll need to do to mix it of course).  You may choose to mix it up in a blender as well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I thought it looked pretty cool.   Best dressing I have ever had, and the best part is that there is no sugar and plenty of MUFAs (MonoUnsaturated Fatty Acids).

Drizzle it over your salad!

This is seriously the best tasting salad in the universe, and probably one of the healthiest.  Enjoy!
