Summer Salad Base

Susan Baumgaertel · July 4, 2024

Sometimes the best impromptu salads are made by cleaning out the fridge—no recipe, no exact measurements, and no wrong way to make them. They can be a great dinner side, a stand-alone lunch, or even a creative breakfast.

This one pictured has mixed greens, chopped carrots, sliced red radish, green onions, blueberries, and crushed walnuts. The dressing is 3 parts extra virgin olive oil and 1 part white wine vinegar + apple cider vinegar, coarse mustard, salt and pepper—whisked and tossed into salad mixture immediately before eating.

To make this into a robust meal, add one or more of the following:

✅  sliced hard-boiled egg

✅  crumbled goat cheese

✅  roasted chicken

✅  smoked salmon

✅  cubed firm tofu

For more impromptu meal ideas check out The Menopause Menu & Pinterest.
