Not to mention that it's pretty healthy too. Make a great piece of meat go farther by slicing it thinly and serving it atop a huge plate of fresh greens. This salad can really be adapted to whatever your favorites are, whether it be a Mesclun Mix, Spinach, Iceberg, Romaine or whatever is growing in your garden or your grocer has on hand.
