Fancy Green Salad - Insalata Verde

This salad is not only beautiful, it’s to die for delicious! The ingredients compliment each other so nicely…a little sweet from the pear, some freshness from the cucumber and lettuce, some earthy aromas from the basil and green onion and some heartiness from the edamame make this salad incredibly satisfying!

Another nice thing about this salad is you can adjust the ingredients to your liking. I have given you below what I put in mine, but if you would like a little more or less of something go for it!

This recipe is a variation on the original recipe by Forest Feast.
