Salata~Salad with Love!


I really love how this salad turned out. Who said don't play with your food? Play and be creative. This is just a simple salad but looks so nice for dinner guest or brunch. Use the things you have in the kitchen. I used a lemon zest er to carve my carrots and then sliced them. Cut radishes to make a somewhat oriental flower or a pond Lilly. The colors are vibrant and fresh. Make sure when using your red cabbage to rinse it and place when you are close to serving. It can dye the other vegetables.



2 Organic heads of Romain
1 tomato (sliced in wedges)
2 Turkish cucumbers (cut at an angle)
4 Radishes (Optional)
2 Carrots (julienned)
1 1/2 C red cabbage

2 tbsp vinegar
2 tsp sugar
1/4 C olive oil
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 pinch oregano
1 pinch sumac
1 pinch mint
1 lemon (juice)
1 tsp red sweet pepper

Arrange salad as you desire. Prepare dressing and let sit for at least one hour. Drizzle on salad right before serving. Afiyet Olsun!
