As I said yesterday I have a bunch of lettuce so I'm going to make a salad for lunch

Basic ranch salad
Cilantro
Tomato
Any kind of lettuce
Black pepper
Optional  Panko bread or croutons lemon

Squeeze half lemon on lettuce if you desire ( I use lemon on everything because I love the taste and I feel like it curbs my Appatite )
Dice cilantro toss it with lettuce, take the seeds out of the tomates and dice them, toss with lettuce and cilamtro, add ranch dressing, sprinkle black pepper and Panko bread on toss and serve.

I have an obnoxious  amount of lettuce, and herbs, and few vegetables.  Must be spring.
I have few recipes to post today. Sadly if I don't use alot of this stuff today or at least cook it into something  it will go bad.

So for veggies  I like making soup or stock depending on what I have. Today basic celery, onion, carrots, tomato

So I'm just gonna make a garden veggie  soup.

2 tbs Butter
2 carrots
2 stalks  of celery
Half tomato
Finely chopped onion
4 cubes chicken boullion
4 cups water

In a pan melt butter  add onion, place on medium low heat, mea while slice carrots,celery
And dice tomatoes, (take seeds out too)
 Once onion is Transparent  or soft  add 4 cups water, bring to a boil then turn down to medium high heat add tomatoes let cook for 10 minutes. Then add chicken boullion stir till Boullion is de solved. Bring to a boil. Add tomatoes celery  cook for 10 minutes then add carrots and serve immediately
Basic healthy cesar

Romaine lettuce
1 lemon
Panko bread
Black pepper
Garlic salt
(Non creamy) cesar/ house dressing
Optional  parmasean  cheese shredded
For this recipe I use Panko bread because I'm pretty sure it's a rice and not gluten  based. However don't quote me on that different brands use different  ingredients. The brand I get from the pantry is rice based. So I use in recipes that require bread crumbs for my family members who are gluten intolerant

Put lettuce in a bowl, squeeze half lemon over lettuce, toss . Add black pepper (better if freshly ground) dash of garlic salt, add dressing  toss and any extra vegetables or cheeses you wish to (with cheese make sure it's a white cheese like asiago,feta, parmasean) serve immediately
