---

🥦 Ingredients (Serves 4)
• 2 cups baby spinach
• 1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped
• ½ cup arugula (peppery flair!)
• ½ cup thinly sliced cucumber
• ½ cup chopped celery
• ½ cup steamed or roasted broccoli florets
• ½ avocado, sliced or cubed
• ¼ cup fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced
• Optional: a sprinkle of shelled pistachios or pumpkin seeds for crunch
For the Dressing (aka the “green sauce gossip”):
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
• Salt & pepper to taste
Joke break:
Why did the lettuce break up with the cucumber?
It just couldn’t romaine in the relationship.

🥄 Instructions

1. Wash and dry all greens thoroughly, nobody likes a soggy salad. Except maybe… no one.
2. Toss together the spinach, romaine, arugula, cucumber, celery, broccoli, avocado, herbs, and green onion in a large bowl. It’s like assembling the Avengers, but everyone’s in green.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, mustard, and honey. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving, and toss gently like you’re flipping it with flair on a cooking show.
5. Top with seeds or nuts if using, because a little crunch is good for the soul (and the mouthfeel).

Pair it with grilled chicken, fish, tofu, or enjoy it straight out of the mixing bowl with a fork and zero shame. It’s that good.
