How to Make Any Easy and Delicious Salad with These Easy 1:2:3:4 Ratios
•1 cup of something hearty. By hearty, I suggest proteins like meats, cheeses, tofu, or beans or grains.
•2 tablespoons of something crunchy. Crunchy can be croutons, toasted nuts or fried Chinese noodles.
•3 types of vegetables or fruits. This balances the textures and flavors. Fennel, green apple, and celery; roasted tomato, peach, and green onion; or grilled zucchini, kohlrabi, and dried apricots could be some.
•4 loosely packed cups of leaves. The base of my salad is always about bowl of leaves to serve. From iceberg to arugula, kale, escarole, baby spinach, or a variety, four loose cups will fill the bottom of a nice salad bowl.
