Although it is more cost effective to buy and prepare lettuce, sometimes I want to make a quick salad from prepared ingredients without all the washing and drying. I recently purchased the Herb Salad Mix from Trader Joe's (washed three times and ready to use). I added some of T.J.'s chick pea mix called Balela (garbanzos, tomato, and black beans) along with a few other crisp spring ingredients. The celery heart is from the bottom of the celery, the part you usually throw out, cleaned and sliced thin.

Dressing
In a small bowl combine one or two tablespoons olive oil with about two teaspoons vinegar of your choice (I used white wine vinegar), salt and pepper. Beat to emulsify and dress salad.
