Is there anything better than ordering a sandwich at a café and receiving a bonus small salad on your plate?? It’s simple, with fresh crisp greens, the dressing is vibrant but not too bold acting as a perfect palette cleanser. The salad offers a different color, texture, temperature and flavor to your entrée which makes your meal more satisfying. It’s safe to say, the petite salad generally just makes you feel good! That is this salad but dare we say even better? The bright Champagne Vinaigrette perfectly compliments the mild earthy and peppery lettuce of the Vibrant Greens Blend. The freshly shaved cheese rounds out all the flavors while adding a little richness. It’s a bonus add-on to any meal or can be the centerpiece with grilled shrimp or chicken on top. The best part of this salad, it can be made from start to finish in 5 minutes with ingredients most people already have in their kitchens. Easy, unique, and delicious! Enjoy!
