I found myself at the grocery store this weekend without a recipe. I knew I had leftover celery and romaine to use up from last week, so I just decided to do a normal veggie salad today. It kind of looks like a side salad you’d get at Chili’s. It did take quite a bit of chopping. It’s very colorful, if not all that special.
I usually buy the small persian cucumbers at Trader Joe’s that are seedless.
Thanks San Francisco for composting! I made a lot of it today.
