2 tomatoes, chopped
10 -12 scallions, sliced (including all of the crisp part of the green top)

Tips:

  • Use a variety of leafy greens: Don't limit yourself to just lettuce. Try arugula, spinach, kale, or romaine for a more flavorful and nutrient-rich salad.
  • Don't be afraid to add some crunch: Vegetables like celery, carrots, and radishes add a nice textural contrast to salads.
  • Include a source of protein: This could be grilled chicken, tofu, or even hard-boiled eggs.
  • Add some healthy fats: Nuts, seeds, and avocados are all great sources of healthy fats that will help you feel full and satisfied.
  • Don't forget the dressing: A simple vinaigrette or oil and vinegar dressing is all you need to bring your salad together.
