Ingredients
  

Fresh Vegetables
  • 4 cups lettuce (washed and chopped)
  • 1 cup cucumbers (sliced)
  • 1 cup tomatoes (diced)
  • 1 cup carrots (shredded)
  • 1 cup green peppers (chopped)
Dressing
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by washing and chopping the lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Slice the cucumbers, dice the tomatoes, shred the carrots, and chop the green peppers. Arranging all your ingredients before you start will help in making the preparation swift.
Mixing
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, and green peppers. Toss them gently to combine.
Making the Dressing
  1. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. This zesty mix will not only dress your salad but elevate its flavor profile.
Combining and Serving
  1. Pour the dressing over the salad mix and toss everything gently to ensure the dressing evenly coats the vegetables. Serve fresh immediately for the best texture.

Notes

Experiment with seasonal vegetables or add nuts and seeds for a delightful crunch. Dress the salad just before serving to keep it crisp. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, keeping the dressing separate.
