Mint it!

Easy Cranberry Mint Romaine Salad

Here's a quick one I love. Romaine lettuce, cranberries, walnuts, raspberry-walnut vinaigrette, feta cheese, and fresh candy mint from the garden!

SWE Salad aka Lisa B's variation on Lebanese Fattoush Salad

Lettuce - romaine or any variety good leaf lettuce or spring mix
Tomatoes - I like grape tomatoes
Cucumber - the long skinny European ones preferably
Sweet bell peppers - red, yellow, orange or green
Green Onions
Fresh flat leaf parsley
Mint - I like to add a lot of parsley and mint

Cut everything in chunks and toss with dressing. Can either top the salad or toss in pieces of toasted pita bread. I like to use Pita Chips.

Dressing:
Olive Oil
Lemon Juice - equal parts
Minced Garlic - 1-2 tsp or to taste
Sugar - 1+ tbsp or to taste
Salt and Pepper

Add grilled chicken and it's whole meal!
