Mixed Greens Salad with Red Onions, Artichokes and Hearts of Palm

salad1IMG0022This is one of my favorite salads. I love the blend of the lettuces, the crunch of the carrots and the addition of the artichokes and hearts of palm. It is a great green salad to pair with pizza or a hearty red-sauced pasta. Enjoy! -alyce
