oil free salad Ingredients:
- 1 large white potato or sweet potato. Boiled for 5 minutes. Once cooled, cut the potato into bite-sized cubes.
- Small head of your preferred lettuce, ideally Romaine lettuce, torn into smaller, bite-sized pieces. Feel free to substitute it with any other greens, such as crisp and fresh spinach leaves.
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced. I find that red onion has milder, more subtle and palatable essence than white onion.
- ½ avocado - sliced. For an extra dose of healthy fats and a creamy texture, feel free to introduce a whole avocado into your dish.
- 1 medium tomato - finely chopped.
- 1 small cucumber - finely chopped.If cucumber isn't to your liking, feel free to switch it out with zucchini for a refreshing alternative.
- 1 small sweet red pepper- chopped into either cubes or thin slices.
- Pack of sprouts - choose from sunflower, beans, or broccoli varieties.

Final Note:
This versatile recipe caters to your personal taste preferences – feel free to swap any of the mentioned veggies with your favorites, ensuring a personalized twist to every bite. For those seeking a heartier alternative, you can even replace the greens with a carbohydrate source like rice, adding a new dimension to the dish.
Elevating the flavor profile is the dressing, a luscious combination of beetroot, nutritional yeast, and sunflower seeds. However, for a creamy and nutty variation, consider substituting sunflower seeds with soaked cashews. This tweak not only infuses a rich creaminess into the dressing but also enhances the nutritional value with the goodness of cashew nuts.

This salad is your canvas, allowing you to experiment and tailor it to your taste, ensuring a colorful and delightful feast of flavors. The more veggies, the merrier – let your imagination run wild!
