Some salads are extravagant and ostentatious. And some are humble and charming. The Best Green Salad is of the latter category, but no less wonderful in taste. Fresh, crisp greens are paired with crunchy breadcrumbs and a nutty, sharp cheese before being dressed in a mixture of tangy, sweet flavors. The reason it is the Best Green Salad is that it lets the greens shine! They’re like emeralds of flavors just drawing you in for more!
