Veggie Salad
Salads can be simple or detailed, depending on the approach you wanna take. Our favorite go-to is to chop lettuce extra small combined with cucumbers, tomatoes, onion, peppers, and the best on top, roasted almonds or walnuts! This added touch can transform your salad into something that would be served at a five-star restaurant! You can keep it healthy and dress it in olive oil and lemon, or if you want something with more flavor go ahead and purchase vinaigrette at your local supermarket.
