I am always looking for salads that are creative, unexpected and refreshing. You can perk up your everyday salad by just having a few fresh ingredients in the house and having a supreme vinaigrette recipe. I love to make a lemon vinaigrette that I can keep in a glass jar in the fridge. As long as I have something green, and maybe some fruit, I know I can whip up a fast delicious salad that will satisfy!

My favorite greens are mâche, baby spinach or arugula. Having these on hand ensures me that when I am hungry I can make something fast instead of reaching for a piece of bread or a cookie!
salad:
1 long green pepper
2 cups mâche
1 peach, sliced
sprouts or microgreens
1/2 cup purple cabbage
lemon vinaigrette:
juice from 1 lemon
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon fresh garlic or garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
cracked pepper to taste
Heat a small skillet on medium, add about 3 tablespoons olive oil. Sear the pepper on all sides until brown. Sprinkle with coarse salt.
Wash salad greens and arrange in a small flat platter with sliced peaches. Drizzle with vinaigrette.
