And in such a salad you can add olives and cheese "Brynzu" or "Feta" - then you will get a real "Greek salad". You can simply dilute the vegetable salad with capers and give it a taste of light piquancy. In general, act as you wish - just do not change the main products.
For 4 servings of fresh and juicy vegetable salad you will need:
- 2 large tomatoes;
- 3-4 cucumbers;
- 1 bunch of green salad;
- 1 red onion;
- 2-3 pinch of salt;
- 10 ml of vegetable oil.
The first in the salad is cut pre-washed leaves of green lettuce. You can just pick them up with your hands, but try not to leave too large pieces.
Immediately after them, we chop the washed cucumbers, cutting off the ponytails from each of them on both sides. Cucumber tails become bitter during the harvest season, so grab a little more distance from the end.
Then comes the turn of tomatoes. They should also be washed in water and lightly dried with a towel. Then cut each tomato into half and cut out the cores from them, cut into slices. Add chopped in a bowl to the rest of the ingredients.
The final cutting step will be chopping red onion. If you do not have this kind of onion available, then you can safely replace it with ordinary onion or green onion. Cut the peeled and washed onion in half, and then chop in half rings. Add to bowl. Pour in salt and pour in vegetable oil. With two forks, mix the salad mass so that each piece becomes saturated with vegetable oil. By the way, such a dish will become much more useful if you replace vegetable oil with olive!
Put the vegetable salad in plates and start tasting! Good appetite!
