Basic lettuce salad

Yes, I need to write a recipe for basic salad as I've never made one before! We got really great salads from Riverdog Farm today so I tried it for the first time and it wasn't too bad.

Ingredients
  • Mixed lettuce
  • 1 small carrot
  • 1 mini red onion
  • a dallop of honey mustard
  • 1/2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • salt
  • pepper
Instructions
  1. Wash your lettuce, try to take as much water out as you can. Shred them by hand into a mixing bowl
  2. Peel your carrot and grate them using a box grater.
  3. Cut up onion in thin slices, add to bowl.
  4. Mix the olive oil, mustard and balsamic vinegar together. Add salt and pepper to taste
  5. Mix your lettuce with your salad dressing.
  6. Put on plate and add the shredded carrot on top
Notes
  1. For onion, cut it in half, then thinly slice either way.
