5-Minute Fresh Green Salad
Overview
The simplest salad you'll make. No cooking, no heat just ultra-fresh leaves dressed in 60 seconds. This recipe focuses on the natural peppery notes of the arugula and the crunch of the rainbow mix, elevated by a bright, acidic dressing.
The Ingredients
- • 1 bag Rainbow Mix
- • Handful of Arugula
- • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- • Juice of 1/2 Lemon
- • Salt & Pepper
- • Shaved Parmesan
Instructions
Prep the Greens
Wash and thoroughly dry your greens. Dry leaves are essential excess water will dilute the dressing and prevent it from sticking to the leaves.
Emulsify the Dressing
Whisk the lemon juice and olive oil together in a small bowl until fully combined. This quick emulsion ensures a balanced flavor in every bite.
Toss & Season
Gently toss the greens with the dressing until evenly coated. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper to draw out the flavors of the baby leaves.
The Final Touch
Top with shaved parmesan if using. Serve immediately to enjoy the peak crispness of the hydroponic greens.
💡 Pro Tip: Dress the salad right before serving. Delicate baby leaves will begin to wilt within minutes of contact with the lemon juice's acidity.
