Ingredients:
- 1 cup mixed greens (such as spinach, lettuce, or arugula)
- 1/2 cup cucumber, sliced
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup bell pepper, sliced
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup shredded carrots
- 1/4 cup radishes, sliced (optional)
- 1/4 cup celery, chopped (optional)
- Fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro (optional, for extra flavor)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1-2 tablespoons of lemon juice or balsamic vinegar (optional for extra flavor)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Vegetables: Start by washing and prepping all your veggies. Slice the cucumber, tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, and any other veggies you’re using.
- Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, combine all the vegetables. If you’re using any fresh herbs, add them in for an extra burst of flavor.
- Season: Season your salad with a pinch of salt and pepper, and add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a drizzle of balsamic vinegar to brighten the flavors. You can skip the dressing to keep it zero points or use a light dressing (just keep track of the points if you do).
