The ingredients for Garden Salad are:

Cherry Tomatoes- 1 cup
Cucumber- 1 cup, diced
Lettuce- 2 cups, cut into thin slices
Scallions (spring onions)- 2 cut into small rings
Lemon juice - I Tbsp
Olive Oil - I Tbsp

Here is how you make Garden Salad:

Cut the cherry tomatoes in half. Dice the cucumber- I like a telegraph cucumber. Cut the lettuce into thin slices, about 5mm thick... I think of this as 70's style lettuce that my Aunt always serves. Cut the spring onions into rings the same width as the lettuce.In a large bowl add the lemon juice and olive oil. I use a really good organic olive oil made locally, but any will do. You can add a little salt and pepper at this stage. Toss all the vegetables into the liquid and serve.For a little variety, sometimes I add half a diced avocado, or 1/4 cup of cashew nuts, or 1/2 cup of seedless grapes, or 1/4 cup of diced feta cheese. However, all of these will change the nutritional information given.Serves 4 (approx 1 cup servings each)Number of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user JUANAMAC.
