1 bag washed lettuce or spinach (if you're lazy like me, or else wash
your own!)
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1 cubed avocado
1 grated carrot
1 cup cubed cucumber
1/2 cup chopped almonds
1 tbsp of sesame seeds
generous sprinkle of Braggs Liquid Aminos or soy sauce.

Nice, low calorie fat-free fresh salad, with lots of taste
combinations. Very good by itself, or with garlic mashed potato and sauted
mushrooms.

As you can see I made this recipe with spinach leaves. I also toasted the sesame seeds in my toaster oven with a splash of sesame oil. For the dressing I used a 1/4 cup of soy sauce and I added the juice of half a lime and a touch of ginger.

I found this salad delightful. The sweetness of the cranberries complemented the salty tang of the dressing. The taste of almonds and the toasted sesame seeds are the tastes that stuck with me after finishing the meal.

Kalani thought it would be better on lettuce (but she is not a huge fan of raw spinach any way).

I would definitely recommend this salad. Thanks for the submission Chandira. I hope to hear from others, with their favorite recipes.
