You know what greens are. Anything green, tasty and it must be organically grown as real compost gives the final salad 14 times the minerals, (say scientific tests), as factory farm grown salad. We don’t eat head lettuce as it’s glorified water. Just dark greens. Always chop some surprise greens, (cress or arugula) in at the end, as its an oddball taste. Cilantro is good, so add that to the list. Cilantro’s gift is that it detoxes the body of metals. All salads are alike in the dark, but not with the addition of surprise greens and of course, a thrilling dressing your salads aren't going to be like ANYBODY's!
