When it’s too hot outside to cook, being next to a warm stove in 90º+ weather may be the last thing you want to do. Why not make a cool, fresh salad instead?
This month, we paired up with our partners Top Box Foods Louisiana to make a summer salad using ingredients from their vegetable box (plus a few store-bought items).
Here’s what we used to make it:
From Top Box Foods
Romaine lettuce
Bell peppers
Onions
Tomato (also available from Baton Roots)
Cucumber (also available from Baton Roots)
From Trader Joes
Balsamic vinaigrette
Feta cheese
Mixed greens
Olives
How to make the salad
Wash all of the vegetables
Chop romaine lettuce and blend into mixed greens
Toss all greens lightly in olive oil, salt, and pepper
Dice onions and peppers and sliced cucumbers and tomatoes
Start dressing the salad with all of the ingredients
Top with olives, feta cheese, and balsamic vinaigrette, then voila!
