SUPER VEGGIE TOSSED SALAD

Super Veggie Tossed Salad image

This crunchy vegetable salad is perfect on a hot summer's day. I like to cut the vegetables earlier in the day, then chill them so they are nice and crisp. Just before serving, all that is left to do is drizzle with the salad dressing.-LaDonna Reed, Ponca City, Oklahoma

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/3 cup lemon juice
2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp white sugar
1 tsp sea salt, or more to taste
1/3 cup olive oil
8 cups iceberg or romaine lettuce, chopped into 1/2" slices or "ribbons"
1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved (or plum tomatoes, diced )
1 cup cucumber, sliced (European seedless cucumbers are great)
1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced (See Note 1) (a small yellow onion also works)
1/2 cup green olives (more if you like!)
1-2 cups croutons
Parmesan shavings, to taste

Steps:

Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together all dressing ingredients; set aside. You can also put all of the dressing ingredients in a medium sized jar and shake until everything is combined. Season with more salt, if needed and set aside.
Wash your lettuce (use a salad spinner and pat dry with paper towels). Then add to a large salad bowl.
Top greens with all other ingredients (at this point, you can cover the salad with plastic wrap and store it in the fridge for up to 4 hours).
When you are ready to serve, add the dressing, a little at a time, and toss the salad with tongs. I usually reserve a little extra dressing to serve on the side.
