I use a lot of variety but I have learned the amounts that will do for a 1-2
person salad mix. Basically (for 1) half a stick of celery, 3-4 tomato
slices, 8-10 slices cucumber (lebanese cucumber I use), 3-4 good sized
strips of red pepper, about 1 cup of mixed lettuces, 1-2 schallots, 1-2
radishes, a few slices of onion.
