Amy's Famous Salad

My high school girlfriends get together every month for a potluck dinner. My friend Amy is famous for this salad. It is so simple but colorful and delicious. 




Ingredients:
lettuce (romaine or mixed greens)
red onion, sliced
cherry tomatoes, halved
avocado, diced
sliced red and yellow peppers
2 parts EVOO
1 part vinegar
salt

Directions:
cut all of the vegetables and place into large salad bowl.
mix olive oil, vinegar, and salt in a separate bowl.
combine and serve.

tips & extras

ingredients - You can use any vegetables you have laying around. Cucumbers are great, so are regular tomatoes.

dressing - If you have mr. dash, use that instead of salt. you can use any vinegar you have around the house. I prefer red or balsamic, but white also works with this simple dressing recipe.


serving size - There are no measurements because you can make this salad as big or small as you like. The trick is to add plenty of colorful veggies and mix the dressing with 2 parts oil and 1 part vinegar. If you aren't sure where to start, go with 1/4 C olive oil & 1/8 C vinegar.
