Overview

  • Langsford’s glass-tub method layers lettuce at the bottom so the salad maintains its crispness when tipped out.
  • Kitchen roll at the container’s base absorbs excess juice from tomatoes and cucumbers to prevent sogginess.
  • Her nine-ingredient lineup includes avocado, black olives, cucumber, lettuce, honey mustard dressing, tomatoes, red onion, tuna in olive oil and hard-boiled eggs.
  • The TV host brings the salad to work daily as a way to avoid grabbing unhealthy, processed lunches.
  • Nutritional experts point to tomato lycopene’s potential cancer-risk reduction and avocado omega-3s for heart and brain health.
