Simplest green salad you'd share with a group

[Anonymous]

From Costco I have the spring mix, red/orange/yellow peppers and cucumbers. I'd prefer to leave the grape tomatoes out of the salad so I can pair them with the mozzarella balls. I still need a Giant run but can't think of a good way to pull together the green salad. Any fresh ideas?

Add pumpkin or sunflower seeds and carrot slivers. Make your own light dressing (whisk balsamic and oliv oil). Add gets if you like it and maybe blueberries.

Add some feta cheese. If your guests aren't allergic, add some walnuts or pistaschios. I agree w/PP about balsamic & olive oil dressing, but grate in some fresh garlic and add a dollop of dijon or brown mustard.

The last sentence is supposed to say "Add feta..."

Artichoke hearts or hearts of palm. Leave the nuts out.

Kalamata olives. Edamame. Chick peas.

I would Prefer a salad with the ingredients you already have. Peppers, cucumbers, lettuce. Sounds good to me.

Any fans of champagne vinegaette as a "light" dressing? I hadn't thought of adding blueberries but that would keep the salad summery fresh.

Champagne vinegar makes a great vinaigrette PP and you're right it would be lighter tasting than balsamic.

I agree.

Red onion or radishes, and peas.

Thanks PP! I'm not the OP, but that sounds delicious with a little goat cheese and fresh pepper. I'm going to go make that for dinner.

World's simplest green salad:

Fresh arugula
Something red (grape tomatoes, strawberries, raspberries, red peppers (fresh or roasted)--but only one)
Goat cheese
Olive oil
Lemon juice (or rice vinegar, or white wine vinegar, only one)
Salt and pepper to taste

You can substitute your fresh spring greens for the arugula. It's also optional to add some kind of toasted nuts or seeds (e.g., pepitas).

This gets my vote -- especially with grape tomatoes and a few toasted walnuts.
