When we lived in Southern California I noticed how quickly the general population was to jump on the latest and greatest fads in health and beauty. However, when someone mentions a 'natural colon cleanser' I automatically think of two things; lettuce and nuts! In honor of our digestive systems and keeping things err... moving (?) let's celebrate the salad. 15 minutes start to finish and you are ready to serve!Green Salad with a simple Vinaigrette
1 large head Romaine lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces
1 cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced
8 radishes, thinly sliced
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
Salt and freshly ground pepper
4 hard-cooked eggs, halved
In a large bowl, combine the lettuce, cucumber, radishes and scallions. In a small bowl, whisk the oil with the vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Add the dressing to the salad and toss well. Top with the eggs, serve!
