I have used a mix of different green leaves such as Romaine Lettuce, Frisse Lettuce, Lollo Rosso Lettuce, Radicchio Lettuce, Baby Rocca, Baby Spinach,garden rocket with some cherry tomato and sweet corn.
Buy Leaves that are fresh and crisp. The more varieties, the more flavorful. I have bought a 200g pack of mesclun greens. Find your favourite combination by trying varieties of lettuce and other baby leaves which you like.
Ingredients
Directions
Wash the leaves and dry them well. A salad spin is your best friend while making salad. It helps to dry the leaves perfectly in no time and your salad will be fresh and crisp. If you don’t have a salad spinner, spread the leaves on a kitchen towel to dry while you prepare your dressing.
Add some quartered cherry tomatoes and some canned sweet corn.
To make the dressing mix together minced garlic,extra virgin olive oil, dried herbs, lime juice, salt and pepper.
Add the dressing to the salad mix and mix well.
Serve immediately, or chill for an hour in a refrigerator before serving.
