Recipe No 501 salad

Garden salad

This is a basic template for a garden salad which can be scaled as required to yield consistent results. There is nothing remarkable about this salad, but it does give you an idea of the energy contained by volume of consumed garden vegetables. On that level, it is quite remarkable: around 900 kj (≅210 kcal) for 700 g (≅1.75 lb). That’s a stomach-filling amount of food for minimal energy intake, with zero saturated fat.
