A big salad pairs beautifully with a hearty bowl of soup. Enjoy with a Low-day side dish—I like it with Lemon Asparagus Soup.

• ½ head romaine lettuce, chopped
• ½ avocado, diced
• 1 ounce pitted black olives, chopped
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano, or ¼ teaspoon dried
• Sea salt

1. Combine the lettuce, avocado, and olives in a medium bowl.

2. In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, lemon juice, and oregano and season with salt.

3. Drizzle the oil mixture over the vegetables and toss to combine. Season with salt and serve immediately.
