Sergey's Romaine Salad
Valentina P
Our friend, Sergey, eats a version of this easy salad almost every day. It's filled bell peppers, juicy tomatoes, carrots, and plenty of toasted pine nuts. A very simple dressing of olive oil and salt finishes it off. It makes a great (under 10-minute) salad for those especially busy days and packs well for lunches too.
