Nicole's Rainbow Garden Salad

Quite simply, this is one of my favorite salads.  It is easy to make, colorful, and extremely good for you (with vegetables a good rule to follow is that each color represents particular batches of vitamins and minerals).  Good tasting.  Good for you.  Easy-to-make.  Not a bad combination!😁 Give it a try and let me know what you think!

The Dressing...

• ½ Teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

• 1 Clove garlic, minced

• ¼ Cup rice wine vinegar

• 2 Teaspoons sugar

• 1 Tablespoon soy sauce

• ½ Cup olive oil

Combine the dressing ingredients in a small jar and shake to blend.  Set aside.

The Rainbow Garden Salad...

• 1 Head romaine lettuce, washed and cut into pieces

• ¼ Red cabbage

• 2 Carrots, peeled and shredded

• 1 Small red onion, thinly sliced

• 1 Yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced

• 1 Cucumber, cut into thin 1/2 rounds

  
  

Combine all the vegetables in a large bowl to create the Rainbow Garden Salad.  Drizzle the dressing over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly.  Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.  Serve.

Makes around 4 servings.
