Simple Garden Salad Recipe

I have made several salads in the past like this lentil salad which is high in protein or this simple corn salad which is great as a snack. In spite of making salads routinely at home, I still find my boys always enjoying the simple garden salad that they serve as a side in many restaurants.

Equipment

  • bowl
  • Spoon

Ingredients

  • 4 cups Lettuce or basic salad mix
  • ¼ cup Red onion thinly sliced
  • 15 thin slices Cucumber
  • 15 Cherry tomatoes
  • few Croutons
  • Salad dressing as per your taste

Instructions

  • If starting with a whole head of lettuce, shred them into bite size pieces. I used a bag of chopped salad, that had a mix of lettuce, carrot and purple cabbage.
  • Measure out about 4 cups of the lettuce mix into a large bowl.
  • Add the rest of the vegetables to the mix. You could also use broccoli, bell pepper along with cucumbers and tomatoes.
  • Add your choice of salad dressing and mix well. I used store bought creamy Vidalia onion dressing this time.
  • Top with croutons and serve immediately. I also add shredded cheese at times.
