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.

- 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
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.
