Easy Salad Recipe

I like to have a small salad with meals. Salads can be very healthy and nutritious. Vegetables contain many vitamins and nutrients that are essential for a good, healthy diet. Here is a salad that I like to make. It's not a fancy salad, that one would make for a special dinner, but I think it's tasty, and gives me much of the vitamins and nutrients that I need. I also prepare it so that I can have a small salad with lunch and dinners throughout the busy week. I prepare it once in a batch and serve myself small portions with meals.

The Ingredients:

A bag of coleslaw ( prepared bag of coleslaw)

1 large roma tomato

Some broccoli

Some raspberry vinegar salad dressing

Coleslaw Dressing

crushed red pepper

sugar

The Directions:

I usually can get an already prepared coleslaw, that comes in bags at the supermarket. It has chopped cabbage and makes it much easier to make this salad. I will then usually chop it a little finer, on a chopping board, chop up the roma tomato and chop up some broccoli.

I will add all this into a gallon plastic container that I have a lid for. I will then mix in some really good raspberry vinegar dressing, that I like. Then I will add in some coleslaw dressing that you can buy at the supermarket. I will add a dash of crushed red pepper and a teaspoon of sugar and mix it all together. After that, I just keep the lid on it and keep it in the refrigerator.

You can experiment with this basic recipe and add your own favorite vegetables, if you like. I tend to stay with the fruits and vegetables that are not tart, tangy or bitter. But I am sure additions such as slices of limes or nuts or berries might go well with this salad.

It may not be pretty, but it is tasty. Each time I have a lunch or dinner I will just get a small bowl of this salad and have it with my meal. Making and keeping a small batch, makes it very easy to have a small salad without having to prepare it each time.
