I was doing a new teleclass with my Break Free business partner, Leanne Ely, the other day and I asked her about essential kitchen equipment. She went on a rant about salad spinners and not buying that “evil bagged lettuce”. Well I couldn’t break it to her that I was not a salad spinner owner so I rushed right out and bought one. No more “evil bagged lettuce” for me, though I do confess to buying the boxed spinach leaves, so sue me Leanne.
So now that I have this fun new toy, I am fired up more than ever to make some fun summer salads.
Here is my latest creation:
Butter leaf lettuce (washed and spun in my new toy)
Shredded green cabbage
Diced and julienned cucumber
Peeled pink grapefruit segments (and don’t you dare buy those packaged ones, they have SUGAR)
Diced Avocado
Steamed and chilled jumbo shrimp
Sliced almonds
Julienned red pepper
An easy viniagrette – I added sesame oil and seasoned rice wine vinegar and tossed the whole thing up. Fabulous!
