Calories 147 kcal
Ingredients
Salad
- 1/4 Iceberg lettuce (head chopped/torn)
- 3 cups Fresh spinach (chopped/torn)
- 1/4 c Parsley (fresh chopped)
- 1/4 c Cilantro (fresh chopped)
- 1/2 Cucumber (large, thinly sliced)
- 1/2 Red onion (thinly sliced)
Vinaigrette
- 2 cloves garlic
- Juice of 2 limes (about 1/4 c)
- 1/4 c EVOO
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard (clean)
- 1 tbsp White vinegar
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 1/2 tsp Sea salt
- 1/2 tsp Fresh cracked pepper
- 1 tbsp Rosemary (dried)
Instructions
-
Add all the ingredients for the vinaigrette into a blender and process until smooth and creamy. Set aside in a lidded jar. I recommend serving each salad with a side of dressing instead of tossing the entire salad with dressing. Both the dressing and salad will keep longer if stored separately.
-
Chop greens and thinly slice cucumbers and red onion. Toss in a large serving bowl.
-
Serve each salad with a drizzle of vinaigrette and an optional garnish of goat feta cheese- please note that this is optional and not allowed for paleo purists.

Enjoy!
