Ingredients
Salad
  • 440 g iceberg lettuce (about 1/2 a large head), chopped
  • 100 to 110 g tomato (about 1 medium), chopped or sliced
  • 70 to 75 g cucumber, thinly sliced

  • 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Italian herbs or zaatar
  • 3/4 teaspoon cooking salt
Method
  1. Finely slice or chop the iceberg lettuce.
  2. Add the chopped tomato and thinly sliced cucumber to a large bowl with the lettuce.
  3. In a separate bowl or jar, whisk together the white wine vinegar, olive oil, Italian herbs or zaatar, and salt.
  4. Pour the dressing over the salad.
  5. Toss gently until well combined.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Tips
  • Slice the cucumber as thin as you can for the best crunch
  • If you like it tangier, add an extra splash of vinegar after tasting
  • This dressing is great with added feta, olives, or chickpeas
  • Dress right before serving so the lettuce stays crisp
Storage
  • Best eaten fresh once dressed
  • You can prep the veg and store separately in the fridge for up to 24 hours
  • Keep dressing in a jar in the fridge for up to 5 days and shake before using
