Notes
This is kept really light to be the perfect fresh side salad, OR to be your base, allowing you to add some extra tasty stuff to your bowl. Tossing it all in the sweet vinegar and some salt and pepper means it’s already tasty and won’t be BEGGING for a super high-cal dressing unless you want it!
Optional add-ons: For protein, I’m always going to add whatever protein we’ve grilled. Usually some grilled chicken, but sometimes grilled steak, fish, or shrimp. For extra carbs, depending on what I’m making with our dinner, I might add roasted sweet potatoes, rice, smashed potatoes, store-bought crispy fried onions, or toasted nuts. I also LOVE to add whatever fresh fruit I’ve got on hand, like strawberries, peaches, or apples. For fats and/or extra richness, I might add some goat cheese, blue cheese, or Parmesan cheese; or another dressing on my bowl, like a drizzle of any of my homemade sauces, Trader Joe’s Vegan dill dressing, or even just a little drizzle of olive oil. I also love to toss in hummus or tzatziki if you want more of a “dressing” while still keeping it light.
