Not So Boring Salad

If you are like me and eating salads everyday, you can get bored with them really quickly unless you change it up a bit. So here is what I do to keep them exciting. I usually just go through the fridge and anything leftover is fair game. Sometimes it's a leftover taco meat salad, and sometimes it is just a mix of tons of different veggies, like this one with shredded beets and fennel, then topped with toasted almonds!

Start with a bed of lettuce, spinach, and/or kale and then start adding:
Cucumber, diced
tomato, diced
avacado, diced
green onion, sliced
beets, grated
fennel, very finely sliced
brocoli, cut into bite size pieces
topped with nuts, today is sliced almonds, toast for a more nuttier flavor

Top it all with a home made vinagrette and voila! You have a bright and slightly different salad.
