Asian Inspired No Recipe Salad

Got five minutes? That's all this bit of deliciousness will take you to whip up. I love salad, I think it may be my favorite food. As in, if I were stuck on a deserted island, it may just be my food of choice. It's so versatile. My current salad kick was born out of a desire to make a salad that I didn't feel needed tomatoes. The tomatoes here are horrid right now. At the beginning of each week I chop, then wash a bunch of romaine hearts. I spin them dry and store them in a ziploc. Then, at lunch during the week it only takes a few minutes to throw a salad together. I have actually declined lunch invitations to eat salad at home. Not to toot my own horn or anything, well okay, just this once...I have been told I make the best salads by quite a few people.

Here it is.

Five Minute Asian Inspired  No Recipe Salad

Stuff you will need:

• A bowl. The size will depend on how much salad you want to eat.
• Chopped Romaine. The first important part to a good salad is healthy lettuce cut into bite sized pieces. BITE SIZED. Think about that.
• Some chopped, not peeled, English cucumbers.
• One or two chopped scallions. White and green parts.
• Some shredded carrot.
• Some toasted, sliced almonds and sesame seeds. Just toast them in a pan on your stove. Takes 3 minutes!

                                                   Raw                      Toasted 
You need to have smellervision because these toasted nuts smell AMAZING! Finally put all your ingredients into the bowl and toss the salad with your favorite Asian dressing. I used Kraft Light Asian Toasted Sesame. It is not the healthiest, but it is really good. Besides, I don't have a good homemade Asian dressing recipe and I'm too lazy to make my own for lunch.
