A crisp, fresh, green salad. Probably the simplest salad! Goes well with soups and pasta dinners. |
Ingredients: |
|
1 |
|
head of romaine lettuce |
|
2 |
|
roma or beefsteak tomatoes |
|
1 |
|
cucumber |
Directions: |
|
1) Wash, drain, tear lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place in a salad serving bowl, removing "stem" pieces. (Don't cut lettuce, or it will brown.)
2) Quarter and slice tomatoes; add to bowl.
3) Peel and slice cucumber; add to bowl.
4) Toss and enjoy with any type of salad dressing, or with balsamic vinegar or lemon juice.
Variations: Darker lettuces often contain more vitamins than romaine or iceberg.
Try adding fresh spinach leaves for a richer flavor.
