(highlight:: Annette's Favorite Salad: Dr. Sacks-Stetter's Bowl of Life
Summary:
Annette has a favorite salad called Dr. Sacks-Stetter's bowl of life.
It is a delicious combination of various ingredients such as lettuce, spinach, rainbow chard, cilantro, parsley, radishes, carrots, beets, and cabbage. Annette makes a big batch of this salad that lasts for about four days.
It hits the mark in terms of variety, texture, flavor, and color.
I also enjoy this salad but prefer a heavier portion of cabbage in my version.

Speaker 1
Annette has a favorite salad.
Speaker 3
And of course, it has a fancy name. It's Dr. Sacks-Stetter's bowl of life, you know, and it is a deep dive into texture and color and flavor and crunch, and it is this lovely combination of different things.
Speaker 1
The bowl of life salad hits the trinity of points we've been talking about, variety and texture, flavor, and color. Annette likes to make her bowl of life salad in a big batch, which usually lasts about four days. She starts with two heads of lettuce. She loves romaine and one bunch of spinach, along with...
Speaker 3
Maybe a half a bunch of rainbow chard, and I would do a third of a bunch of cilantro, maybe a third of parsley. Radishes are fabulous, so maybe six radishes.
Speaker 1
Annette throws in the greens of radishes too, which add a little kick, and she grates in a carrot.
Speaker 3
You can also take beets, which are that beautiful purple color, and you can grate beets in also. And you can take red cabbage or green cabbage and chop that up. Dr.
Speaker 1
Sacks-Stetter's bowl of life salad is now a part of my life, but I go heavy on the cabbage in my version.)

(highlight:: Make Your Own Salad Dressing: Three Parts Oil, One Part Acid
Summary:
Store-bought dressings are convenient but expensive and may not be of the best quality.
Homemade dressings are better, with a three parts oil to one part acid ratio. Experiment with different oils and vinegars.
Keep a few jars of homemade dressing in the fridge, like honey mustard vinaigrette and Thai-inspired peanut dressing.
They last about a week and can be used to dress individual salads.
Transcript:
Speaker 3
If you buy them, they're convenient, they're extremely expensive, and they're not always the best quality of oils, and they oftentine have sugar in them.
Speaker 1
The general idea is that dressings are a balance of acid and fat. Commonly used acids or lemon juice or vinegar, when commonly used fats are vegetable oils, like olive oil or canola oil. And the rule of thumb for vinaigrette's is the three to one rule, three parts oil to one part acid. But really, just use this ratio as a place to start. Know that there are also tons of different oils and vinegars you can play with. I usually keep a few jars of homemade dressing in my fridge. Right now I have some honey mustard vinaigrette, and then also a Thai-inspired peanut dressing. They last about a week, and that way I can dress each individual salad before I eat it.)
