For all my Knoxville friends – you know how incredibly delicious and nutritious food from The Tomato Head is. My favorite salad they make is the House Salad. I know!! House Salads are usually really boring – like sad, wilted lettuce with a few tomatoes. But not theirs!
Soooo to avoid spending all my money at Tomato Head, I had to take a stab at my own version of their House Salad. I think I nailed it, so I had to share! (PS you should still def support this local business. This recipe is for those in between days and out-of-towners!)
Ingredients
- Romaine
- Purple cabbage, shredded
- Carrots, shredded
- Cherry tomatoes
- Red onion, diced
- Mushrooms, thinly sliced
- Black olives
- Cucumber, diced
- Green pepper, diced
- Avocado, diced
- Alfalfa sprouts
- Top with: balsamic vinegar, EVOO, salt, black pepper, oregano, & lotsss of basil
Directions

I love to make this salad as meal-prepped lunches, but it can also be an amazing starter salad or star of a dinner party! Let me know when you make it by commenting below or messaging me on Instagram @healthbyhaven.
