Categories: Cold Salad Easy

Ingredients

• 1/2 -1 head organic romaine lettuce
• 2-3 medium organic roma tomato
• 1 large organic cucumber
• 1/4 organic red onion
• 1 green or red organic bell pepper
• 6 -8 Tbsp feta cheese
• approx. 20 Kalamata olives
• Top w/ Vinagrette

Directions

1. Wash and slice the whole cucumber, bell pepper, red onion. Keep the veggies refrigerated in a re-sealable container in the refrigerator up to 5 days. If you wish to prep the lettuce ahead of time you can wash, drain well then chop the lettuce. Keep the lettuce in a re-sealable bag or container with a paper towel to absorb excess moisture. Drain the lettuce as much as possible prior to refrigeration. I just washed and chopped my lettuce daily, it only took 5 minutes.

2. When you’re ready to prep the salad, slice the tomato and roughly chop the olives. Layer the lettuce, cucumber, tomato, olives and feta in a bowl. Top with your desired dressing and dig in!

3. Notes

4. Prepping salad ingredients ahead of time is really quick and they will stay good in the refrigerator for 4 or 5 days. This means you can have fresh, quick salads almost all week. I prefer to chop soft or wet vegetables (like tomatoes) just prior to building the salad.
