The Olive Salad of Your Dreams

Step 1

Place lettuce on a serving platter and make sure all pieces are bite-sized. I like the 80 Acres Farm lettuces, but I typically need to tear some of the leaves to make them smaller. At this point, I add a little salt and pepper to make sure it’s throughout the salad.

Step 2

Next, place some onion on your salad. As you layer ingredients, you can also fold them into the lettuce mix, adding some more dimension rather than just placing it on top.

Step 3

Next, take half your cheese, place on top, and fold it in

Step 4

Take all of your drained and chopped olives and add them to your salad.

Step 5

Add a little more cheese and most of your almonds (save some almonds and cheese for the end).

Step 6

Take a pinch of salt and pepper and sprinkle across your salad, tossing the salad a bit with your hands.

Step 7

Add some more onion, almonds, and cheese to the top.

Step 8

Make your dressing and pour 1/3 cup evenly across the top and serve. Enjoy!

Step 9

Squeeze 1/2 cup of fresh lemon juice - about 2 lemons.

Step 10

Add 1/2 cup olive oil.

Step 11

Add 1 tsp of salt and 1/2 tsp of black pepper.

Step 12

Use a garlic press to add one large clove of garlic to mince.

Step 13

Add 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper.

Step 14

Whisk ingredients together and enjoy!
