Signature Salad Base
My go-to salad base of finely chopped lettuce, cabbage, and spinach is fresh, flexible, and packed with nutrition. It's the kind of mix you can prep ahead, store well, and use in dozens of different dishes. Try it with your favorite toppings or let it be the star with just a drizzle of vinaigrette.

Ingredients
- ¼ head Cabbage
- 1 cup Spinach, loose leaves
- 1 head Romaine, hearts
Instructions
- mise en place
- Put the greens in a large shallow bowl and chop them using the mezzaluna. Try to chop them as uniformly as possible, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch chop.
- If you are not going to use the base right away, put the bowl and the greens in the refrigerator with a paper towel over the greens. Use within 12 hours.
Notes
Feel free to use whatever lettuce you have on hand. You can also use red cabbage instead of green cabbage. Do you like kale? Add that as well!
