This evening I made myself a salad with baby - lettuce, curled lettuce, radishes, sugar peas, arugula, carrots, grapes, tomatoes, white cabbage and a dressing of one pound of grapes, three apples, the juice of one lemon and fresh basil.

If not stated otherwise then the amount of ingredients is for one meal, but this could still mean more than one serving of the pictured dish.

All fruits and vegetables have to be ripe. That's of the uttermost importance, only this way are they tasting yummy, are having all their essential nutrients in them and can be digested optimally by our body.

Preparation

Sauce

Put all ingredients for the sauce in a high speed blender, like the Blendtec
Put some softer fruits in the blender first so it has something to "chew" on
Maybe cut harder produce into pieces and put them into the blender with some soft stuff
Avocado, nuts or seeds are optional
Blend ingredients at high speed

Salad

Wash the lettuce leaves, use your spinner to dry them and put them in a bowl.
Dice your fruits and veggies and also put them in the bowl. A flexible cutting mat is very useful to do so!
Most of the time juicy fruits are enough as a dressing. If you want no other dressing you could just squeeze some lemons or an orange on top of your salad.
