How to Master Restaurant-Quality Salads at Home

 

What You'll Need

 

  • 2–3 types of lettuce (leaf, romaine, iceberg, red leaf, or radicchio)
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cucumber, sliced into half moons
  • 1 red radish, diced
  • 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1–2 tablespoons Pam's Prep All Purpose Seasoning
  • Small bunch of green onions, chopped
  • 2–3 sprigs fresh thyme, oregano, and parsley
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • Pinch of salt

 

How to Make It

 

1. Start the Base:

  • Roughly chop all of your selected lettuce and place it in a large mixing bowl.
  • Toss the lettuce and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of Pam’s Prep All Purpose Seasoning, then toss again.

 

2. Layer the Veggies:

  • Add diced radish, cucumber, and half of the chopped green onions.
  • Toss and sprinkle with another teaspoon of seasoning. Toss again.

 

3. Add Final Toppings:

  • Add the halved cherry tomatoes and chopped herbs (reserve half for garnish).
  • Sprinkle with more seasoning and toss again. Add a pinch of salt and give the salad one final toss.

 

Final Touch

  • Top with reserved green onions and herbs. Lightly sprinkle remaining seasoning.
  • Drizzle with olive oil and white wine vinegar. Serve and enjoy!

 

Note: Use your favorite salad components to make this your own! For restaurant-quality results, layer your seasoning and toss between each addition. The oil and vinegar will naturally distribute as you eat.
