Salad: easy, simple, stereotypical vegetarian/vegan dish. I was told once that the perfect salad should never contain more than 4 ingredients, which is contestable, but I have tried to stick to this rule as much as possible and it hasn't failed me yet. At salad bars and whatnot, we always want to put a million items on our salads, which in thinking about it, might hide a lot of the flavors that salads are supposed to highlight. This recipe breaks the aforementioned 4 ingredient rule, but it's still delicious and goes really well with a nicely baked whitefish fillet and some white wine. Owen usually makes this when he's in charge of making the salad for dinner, and I can't complain. The sweet flavor of the beetroot goes really well with the red onion and olives, this salad is a great with a meal or for lunch.
Owen's World Famous Salad!
Ingredients
Green leaf lettuce
1 beetroot, grated
2 ribs celery, sliced
1/2 cup alfalfa sprouts

2 tsp green olives (pitted, sliced)
For the dressing, use a mild tasting oil (grapeseed, olive, avocado) with some freshly cracked pepper and sea salt, and eat away!
