Salad is one of my family’s favorite dishes. It is not at all difficult to make a delicious and healthy salad. First, choose the vegetables. I usually use lettuce, broccoli, onions, and cucumber. Then, wash the vegetables. Next, chop the vegetables into bite-sized pieces and then put them all into a big bowl. I also like to add fruit such as raisins or sliced apples along with walnuts, almonds, or other nuts. Finally, I add my favorite dressing and toss all the ingredients together. In less than an hour, the salad is ready.
