I had leaf lettuce, arugula and spinach.  So after rinsing and drying the greens add them to the salad and toss.  I covered the bowl and left it in the fridge while I prepared the rest of dinner.  Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thriftingwonderland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/4a3ba-97b16e_3f191181a1c3410ea45bc58325ae38e5mv2_d_3024_4032_s_4_2.jpeg?w=350\"> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>You can add a little parmesan cheese to the salad to finish it.
