This is easy to make, but it assumes you have lettuce in the fridge. Salad greens go bad fast. You probably went to the grocery store recently to cook this.

Core Ingredients and Supplies

• Pre-chopped lettuce or other salad greens. These usually come in a bag.

• Salad dressing. Some bags of salad come with a salad dressing inside. That’s one less decision you have to make.

Preparation I

• Put salad greens onto the plate or into the bowl you plan to eat from.

• Add toppings as desired.

• Pour on salad dressing.

Preparation II: Elite Salad Hack

• Shove lettuce and toppings into a Ziploc bag.

• Add dressing.

• Close bag.

• Shake.

• Consume. The contents, not the bag.

Variations

• Add nuts.

• Add seeds.

• Add dried fruit.

• Add fresh fruit.

• Add canned beans. Probably chickpeas.

• Add olives.

Is salad really
cooking? What
is the nature of
time and reality?

• Add cheese. Feta, blue cheese, or cheddar are tops in salad.

• Add black beans, guacamole, and salsa to make a taco salad.

• If you’re feeling fancy, chop up whatever fresh vegetables are in the fridge.

God-Tier

• Pour olive oil over the salad, then pour any vinegar over the salad**.** Voilà! Homemade salad dressing. Pre-mixing the salad dressing by shaking the components together in a jar is nice, but unnecessary. And you’d need to wash the jar.

• This also works with lemon juice instead of vinegar.

Pro-tip: If you use olive oil & balsamic vinegar or lemon juice and then add sea salt, your guest will be incredibly impressed with your chef-ly prowess.
