In all our quarantine cooking, let’s not forget that vegetables are good for our health! 🙈

And in line with that, here’s one of my simplest (and prettiest 😉) salad recipes.

Vegetables don’t have to be boring! And these mixed vegetable salad on a bed of lettuce is Crisp and Delicious! 😋

Love to serve this salad when I have company, or just with a lazy Sunday lunch. It’s so easy to make – 6 ingredients, and you’re ready to eat! 😊

An Easy, Delicious and Pretty salad you’ll enjoy with with any meal!

Ingredients

3 Medium sized Beetroots
3 Medium sized Carrots
300g Green Beans
300g Fresh Lettuce
1 cup Feta Cheese cubes
1/2 Cup Salad dressing/ Light Greek/Italian

Directions

Start by washing and peeling the beetroot, and cutting them into wedges. Some people eat beetroots with the skin on, so you can go with your preference here. 😊
Cook the wedges for 10 minutes in a sauce pan with a little water, and 1/8 teaspoon of salt. Once ready, drain any excess water and allow to cool. 😊
Next, depending on how long the green beans are, cut them in half or about 3cm lengths. Cook them in a sauce pan for about 10 minutes, also with some salt. Once ready, drain any excess water and allow to cool. 😊
While the beetroot and green beans cooks, use a vegetable peeler on the carrots to get these lovely ribbon strips. Set aside. 😊
Wash the lettuce, and make sure it is fresh and crispy. Drain away any excess water. 😊
Break the lettuce by hand into bite sized pieces and arrange them liberally on your serving dish.
Next comes the carrot ribbons. Arrange them on top of the bed of lettuce. 😊
Next up are the green beans. Those go on top of the Carrots. 😊
Next – The Beetroot. Again, liberally everywhere on the plate. 😊
At this point you can make your own dressing, or use a store bought one 😊. I’ll post a few salad dressing recipes on my day off, but Olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper are a great combo. Make sure it’s a good dressing. The salad depends on it! 😉
To finish off the salad, add the Feta cheese cubes and then drizzle your salad dressing liberally all over the veggies just before serving. 😊
Isn’t that a pretty plate? Enjoy!😋💕
