Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash the mixed greens thoroughly under cold water and spin dry in a salad spinner. Slice the cherry tomatoes in half, peel and slice the cucumber into thin rounds, and shave the carrot into ribbons using a vegetable peeler. Finely slice the red onion.
