Tips
Use whatever greens you have here, an amazing salad can only be made from amazing greens. Don't even think about using bottled dressing.
Vinegar
It's important the vinegar is slightly sweet. If you don't have balsamic or white balsamic, you can also use your own homemade vinegar like my Fruit Scrap Vinegar or The Ultimate Berry-Infused Vinegar. If you use your own vinegar, season it with some sugar to taste.
