Christmas salad

On Christmas, my only assignment was to bring a "salad." To me, this was not very exciting. I thought about making a pasta salad, but that wouldn't have gone well with our traditional family meal, so I jazzed-up a green salad.

I say green salad because my intent was to add only ingredients that were colored green. I used lettuce, spinach, basil, cucumbers, green pepper, broccoli sprouts and bok choy. It worked out very well because I used ingredients straight from the refrigerator. I didn't have to buy anything. I chopped the ingredients and tossed them together.

We topped the salad with homemade vinaigrette. It was all very tasty. The basil and bok choy added a great flavor.
