Tropical Spring Greens Salad
By: Jessica of How Sweet Eats

*************

I am a huge salad fan.  I eat one almost everyday.  I had a food epiphany last year and stopped using things like pre-made salad dressing and started getting creative.  I feel so healthy and now crave them if I miss a few days..So I already ate most of this one before I saw your post and had to share. Also, I joined a CSA and make salads out of what ever they give me each week, so I get a ton of variation.
Salad
1 whole heart of Romain lettuce
Small amount of Purple cabbage
1/4 bunch of Cilantro
1/2 shredded fresh beet and 1/2 onion slivered and marinated overnight in Lemon Juice with a bit of salt, parsley leaf and a smidgen of fresh rosemary
1/2 avocado chopped up
Chopped up raw pistachios

Salad Dressing
1/4 Avocado
1/2 tsp of salsa
7 oz of water
pinch of salt
Mash them up and toss over salad
