Ingredients

  • 5 large leaves of romaine lettuce
  • 5 large leaves of red leaf lettuce
  • 7 smaller dandelions leaves
  • 1 medium tomato sliced into wedges
  • 1 cubed up avocado
  • 1 small sweet red onion, very thinly sliced
  • 4 leaves fresh basil roughly chopped
  • 1/8 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 whole lemon, juiced
  • 1tsp. balsamic vinegar
  • 1 garlic clove crushed and minced
  • 1/4 tsp. fresh ground black pepper (or to taste)

  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries

Directions

Rinse romaine lettuce, red leaf lettuce, dandelion leaves, tomatoes, avocado, red onion and basil, then arrange them on a large platter.

 

Note: Tear the greens instead of chopping with a knife. It will keep them crisper when stored in the fridge.

 

For the dressing combine olive oil, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar,  garlic clove, black pepper, cardamom, and salt.
