Course: Salad
Cuisine: Italian-Mediterranean
Keyword: Fresh Mixed Vegetable Salad
Servings: 4 people
Calories: 160 kcal
Ingredients:
- 2 cups fresh spinach (washed and roughly chopped)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1 large carrot (shredded)
- 1 cup broccoli florets (steamed for 2 minutes or raw, depending on preference)
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 ½ tbsp Amritatva’s Italian Seasoning
- Optional: 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar or lemon juice for added zest
Instructions:
- Prep the Vegetables: Begin by washing and chopping your fresh vegetables. In a large salad bowl, toss in the chopped spinach, halved cherry tomatoes, shredded carrot, and broccoli florets. Lightly steam the broccoli for 2 minutes for a softer bite, or leave it raw for extra crunch.
- Add the Dressing: Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables. Sprinkle garlic powder, black pepper, and Amritatva’s Italian Seasoning across the salad. If you prefer a tangy twist, add balsamic vinegar or a squeeze of lemon juice.
- Mix Well: Using salad tongs or clean hands, gently toss the salad to ensure all the vegetables are well coated with the seasoning and oil.
- Let it Rest: For the best flavor, allow the salad to sit for 5-10 minutes before serving, so the vegetables absorb the Italian seasoning and olive oil.
- Serve and Enjoy: Garnish with a sprinkle of extra Italian seasoning if desired. Serve immediately as a refreshing side or add a protein topping to make it a complete meal.
Notes:
- Protein Add-Ons: Make this salad more substantial by adding roasted chickpeas, grilled tofu, or a handful of nuts like almonds or walnuts for an extra crunch.
- Switch It Up: Feel free to add cucumbers, radishes, or red onions for more texture and flavor variety.
- Flavor Boost: For a more intense flavor, roast the broccoli and tomatoes with a bit of olive oil and garlic before adding them to the salad.
