Introduction

My tomato, lettuce and cucumber salad is all about simplicity. It’s a flat salad, which I like much better than bowl salads as the dressing complements the vegetables rather than suffocating them. I use cocktail tomatoes as they are sweeter and I like the cucumber cut in wedges. Sometimes we add a little crumbled feta cheese.

In our house we eat this regularly. It’s become known as our TLC (tomato, lettuce and cucumber) salad, and I reckon everyone needs a little TLC every day.

Ingredients

1 green baby butter lettuce
1 continental cucumber
1 punnet of cocktail tomatoes
100g of feta cheese (optional)

Dressing Ingredients

White Balsamic vinegar (2-3 tablespoons)
¼ teaspoon brown sugar
Olive oil (4 tablespoons)

Preparation

Rinse & spin dry the lettuce leaves then blend dressing ingredients together.

Spoon half the dressing on large flat plate first. Then place handfuls of lettuce leaves that sit on top of dressing on the plate. (This means the leaves dont get too covered in dressing).

Cut the tomatoes into quarters and place on lettuce and add sliced cucumber. Cut or crumble feta over the top. Drizzle remainder of dressing lightly over the top of the salad.

Season with salt and pepper. Enjoy!

Additional Information

In this salad I used the green salanova butter lettuce.
