Ingredients

Servings: 2
  • 2 handful Spring Mix Salad
  • 1/2 can whole kernel corn or fresh corn
  • 6 slices cucumber - thick and quartered
  • 1/4 cup Swiss cheese or any other kind, shaved
  • 1/4 cup tortilla strips/colored
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinagrette dressing You can use whatever dressing you like. I used Ken's

Instructions

  • Get a salad bowl and take out 2 handfuls of spring mix salad. I usually buy it in a big tub at Costco or Safeway.
  • Open a can of corn and spread half of it over the spring mix. If you have fresh corn at hand you can use that as well.
  • Wash and slice some cucumber about 1/2 inch thick and then quarter them. Leave the skin on.
  • Shave some swiss cheese and sprinkle it over your salad. Add some tortilla strips as well. I use the colored ones in a bag.
  • Pour the balsamic vinaigrette dressing over the salad mix. You can use more or less and any dressing you prefer.
    Enjoy your healthy salad!
