Summer Green Leaf Salad
Versatile - using whatever leaves are available to you at the time - you might be surprised by how many leaves are edible. Lovely as a detoxing lunch on it's own or a more filling meal with a baked potato.
Ingredients:
half an iceberg lettuce, quite finely chopped
a couple of handfuls of mixed green leaves from the garden (or supermarket!) such as rocket, lambs lettuce, dandelion (young leaves are best), nasturtium (flowers are edible too for a touch of colour!), lovage, parsley...
it's lovely just like that but if you want to liven it up a bit add a finely sliced red onion and/or some nice oil (flax, olive, hemp or a mix like Udo's). For some more filling ingredients seeds such as pumpkin, sunflower and pine nuts are good.
Tear or chop the leaves and mix through the lettuce. Add oil, onions or seeds if using and mix well.
