Mixed Green Salad

prepared by and photo by Emily S. Downs

A simple salad with crisp romaine, peppery arugula, and green leaf lettuces go well with the slightly sweetened Country Dressing.

Ingredients:
Country Dressing
1 large handful of green leaf lettuce leaves, about 3 oz, torn if large
1 large handful of romaine lettuce leaves, about 3 oz, torn if large
1 small bunch arugula, stemmed
1 cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced
1 green bell pepper, seeded, de-ribbed and finely chopped

Prepare the Country Dressing and set aside to allow the flavors to “marry” about 10 minutes.

Arrange the lettuces and arugula in a salad bowl.  Add the cucumber and bell pepper.  Pour the dressing over the salad, toss and serve.
