How To Make california trash salad for picnics
-
1Your going to need a VERY big container for this salad so make sure you have what you need before you start. I have told people to use their large canning cooker pots in need be. Hey, it works...
-
2Wash up all you lettuce and greens first. Slice up all your lettuce. 1: CLIP your greens. DO NOT DICE WITH KNIFE.Add these to your container. 2: Dice your celery,radish,cucumber,carrots,purple cabbage,peppers and lastly your tomatoes. 3: Mix these together, hold aside.
-
34: Boil you eggs for 20 minutes. Peel and dice. 5: Cook and drain your bacon. You want it cooked so it's crispy and breakable. 6: Open and drain cans of Garbanzo peas. 7: Open your selected shredded cheese
-
48: Start assembling with your gently mixed by hand lettuce & greens into your container first. You may now add your spice condiments. IE:Pepper,salt and Oregano & cilantro. Please note that if you have fresh Oregano & Cilantro from the garden, PLEASE USE ! 8: Now you can add all your other ingredients and toss as gently as you can without "Killing the salad"... There is a lot there to turn and mix... Let people add their own dressing. I only offer California French because of WHAT IT DOES FOR TASTE for this salad. It keeps them coming back for more...
