Instructions

  1. Fill a large bowl with 4-5 cups of mixed greens and the shredded carrot.
  2.  Cut the grape tomatoes in halves and place on top of the shredded carrot.
  3.  Cut the avocado in squares and chop the date enough so that you can sprinkle it around the salad. You should have 10-12 tiny date nibs after chopping.
