Recipe Notes

Serene chats: "This is a HUGE salad that has nothing in common with dry boring rabbit food. It makes you want to eat more salad not because you have to but because you crave it!
We don’t go around belittling iceburg lettuce and even enjoy it ourselves from time to time but no iceberg is allowed in the Superfood Salad. This salad is all about optimum nutrition. We are not sticklers for everything organic either but try to at least stick to organic with your salad greens for this particular salad. Fill your bowl with greens, they are the feature here. Pile them high and plenty! I’m not talking about filling a cereal bowl… you’ll need a much larger bowl than that sistah! Baby green mixes are delicious and so is just plain ole full grown crispy romaine.
This is not the salad for large amounts of regular pasteurized cow’s milk cheeses.. or shock and horror… don’t let me see you pouring store bought ranch over this. Save those for your Heavy S salad and for when I’m not looking. Right now I’m looking and this salad goes with the Super Food Sprinkles in Condiments and Extras chapter. Your dressing and toppings must be optimally superfoodish so while I’ll let a little grated cheddar slip in – I’d really prefer it if you used the other toppings we list in the ingredients. Pearl talks a good Drive Thru Sue gab but don’t be fooled, she eats lots of super food salads without store bought Ranch and you can too!
I might be a weirdo, but I enjoy eating this salad with my favorite pair of chop sticks. It makes me relax and take the time to chew my greens up properly and not just shovel and inhale. I also have a favorite beautiful bowl and watch out world if I can't find it when it’s time for my Superfood Salad, especially if it's been hijacked by a six year old boy and found in the sand pit with three dead worms and a dehydrated mud pie in it."

NOTE: The toss step is the key to this superfood salad. Combined with the moistness of the oil, the savory mix coats each leaf and gives a flavor burst and heartier feel with each bite
