Minute Salad: Mixed Greens with Endive

Here is a quick side salad or light lunch salad that you can make in minutes. It tastes like a fancy cafe salad that you might pay $6-7 for, but you can make it for way less at home.

Ingredients:

Half a bag mixed greens and spinach 50/50 blend
One carrot, shaved into strips with a vegetable peeler
One Belgian endive, chopped into small pieces
Red wine vinegar
Extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Pinch of fennel seeds

Toss all ingredients with a drizzle of oil and splash of vinegar. Season with salt, pepper and fennel seeds.

This is a great side dish to any meal because it is super fast to make. I love the addition of endive and shaved carrots for extra color and crunch, but the fennel seeds make this salad so flavorful and special.

If you are tired and feeling lazy, this salad is refreshing and will pair up nicely with any main course, sandwich or soup!
