Manchego Cheese Spring Mix Salad Recipe Notes:
Salad Base Notes: *
For the greens β I used spring mix. This spring mix salad recipe can be varied with any type of leafy green, such as spinach, kale, baby kale, arugula, romaine, etc.
For the salt, I usually use either Sea Salt or Pink Himalayan Sea Salt.
For 2 servings, I used:
- 2 large handfuls / cups of Spring Mix
- Juice of half of the lemon
- Β½ T of olive oil
Notes for Toppings: **
For the Truffle Honey, you do not need a lot for each salad. Just simply drizzle about ΒΌ teas on each serving
Notes for Instructions: ***
The lemon juice and olive oil should together lightly dress the greens. If you end up putting in too much, then you can add more greens to the bowl to balance it out. If it is not dressed enough, then add a little more as you prefer.
When adding toppings, include the toppings on the individual servings rather than tossing together within the bowl. This will allow you to properly portion over each serving.
Pairings:
Simple salads pair nicely with any main dish. This simple salad pairs well with a Spanish main or Spanish tapas.
I paired this salad with Spanish Garlic Shrimp.
We are focused on doing low carb / keto meals lately to lose pounds gained during Covid times and working from home. When doing low carb / keto meals, including a simple salad to accompany your main dish is key.
