I like to use a head of lettuce, my favorite is a butter lettuce. I tend to not use the micro greens,
I like the lettuce flavor and the crispness you get. Then a simple dressing that is tasty with all vegetables.
I will give you the recipe then I will give you suggestions at the end :)
Incredible leftover green salad
This is what I had leftover.
1 head of lettuce
1 carrot
1 cup broccoli (chopped in big pieces)
1/2 cup peas
1/4 cup vegan mayonnaise
1/4 cup "milk" ( I used Oatly milk)
1 Tablespoon "butter" ( vegan)
4 rice cakes ( crumbled)
sea salt
In a large bowl add the washed lettuce, tear it into large pieces.
Grate the carrot into bowl. Add a pinch of sea salt.
I sauteed the broccoli and peas with butter for 5 minutes, then let them cool for another 5 minutes.
Mix the mayonnaise, milk and pinch of sea salt until combined.
Now mix altogether and coat everything with dressing.
Top with crumbled rice cakes, add more sea salt if desired.
You can add whatever you have in leftover vegetables.
Baked potatoes ( diced and sauteed)
small pieces of onion or leeks
peas
small carrot
few stalks of celery
corn
half cucumber
beans
even if they have been cooked.
You get the idea!
Sometimes if I have a piece of bread or 2, I butter each side and saute until
crisp on each side. Instant croutons.
Happy salad making.
