Notes

Tips
  • Use any kind of lettuce you like. While I'm using a spring mix, you can also use spinach, kale, romaine, or iceberg.
  • Feel free to swap veggies for things you have in you fridge. While I'm using all green to keep with the theme, you can definitely mix it up!
  • You can also use sauerkraut in place of pickles for a very similar flavor!
  • I'm using FreshJax Organic Citrus Pepper Blend here for a very light and bright flavor, but you can use your favorite seasoning. Another one of my favorites is everything bagel seasoning!
