  • 2 cups spinach
  • 1 cup arugula
  • 2 cups romaine
  • 1 purple onion, sliced into rings and cut in half
  • 5 radishes
  • Newman’s Own Olive Oil and Vinegar dressing


Note: normally I make my own vinaigrette, but it’s less expensive to buy one bottle of salad dressing than all the ingredients needed to make the dressing yourself. If you want to make a vinaigrette salad dressing, here’s a recipe I like:
