My Fabulous Alkaline Chopped Salad

• Diced cucumbers
• Diced purple onions
• Diced avocado
• Chopped walnuts
• Diced celery
• Olives
• Diced red pepper
• Diced any other vegetables you like

Dressing

• Olive oil
• Apple cider vinegar
• Dijon mustard

You can do 3:1 on the oil and vinegar, though I like it tart and do 1:1.     Use a healthy sized dollop of the mustard and then adjust to taste.   I use Trader Joe's Dijon mustard.

I took a class recently on how to slice and dice vegetables.   The best tip was to hold the hand that does not have the knife in it like a bear claw (holding the veggies with the tips of your fingers) and the knife should not go higher than your first knuckle.  Cut safely!
