2 cups chicory lettuce (or your choice)
1 bunch beet greens, thinly sliced
½ cup shredded beets
½ cup shredded carrots
¼ small red cabbage, thinly sliced
DRESSING
2 lemons, juiced
10 basil leaves
1 small bell pepper
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
1 small apple, chopped
1-inch piece of fresh ginger
1 small garlic clove
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
Prepare the dressing. Preparing the dressing first allows the flavors to intermingle before using it on your salad. Add the lemon juice, basil, bell pepper, olive oil, apple, ginger, garlic, salt, and pepper to a blender. Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings to your preference. Allow the dressing to sit for at least 15 minutes before dressing.
Toss the salad. Add your chicory lettuce, beet greens, shredded beets, carrots, and red cabbage to a large salad bowl. Add enough dressing to coat the salad, but not drown it. Mix thoroughly. Enjoy!
