This salad has a wonderful, refreshing flavor for those hot summer days. Ingredients:
1 head romaine lettuce |
two medium sized tomatoes |
5 small salad (kirby pickle) cucumbers. if not available, use 1 or 2 english hot house (seedless) cucumbers |
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced |
1-2 cloves garlic |
3/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt |
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil |
11/2 tablespoon lemon juice |
crisy pita chip pieces |
Directions:
1. Smash the garlic with salt in a mortar and pestle or in the bottom of a bowl using a spoon. Add olive oil and lemon juice and mix well with a whisk to allow the garlic flavor to permeate the liquid. Cut the lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumbers into bite-size pieces and mix thoroughly with the liquid dressing. Top with crispy pieces of pita bread and a few slices of red onion. Eat immediately.
2. Note: Chill the lettuce, tomatoes, onion and cucumbers beforehand so salad is served chilled. Also, add a pinch of dried mint or parsley to the dressing for a different flavor. You also can add some curmbled feta cheese to this salad.
