To make lettuce, cherry tomato and cucumber salad, wash and thoroughly dry the vegetables, tear or chop the lettuce, halve the tomatoes, and slice the cucumber. Toss with dressing just before serving so the leaves stay crisp.
A simple dressing of olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper suits lettuce, cherry tomato and cucumber salad. Red-wine vinegar also works; add the dressing shortly before serving to keep the lettuce from wilting.
Yes, you can prepare the ingredients ahead, but store them undressed. Wash and dry the lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumber, keep them covered in the refrigerator, and combine them with dressing just before serving.
Dry the vegetables thoroughly and add salt and dressing only when you are ready to eat. Cherry tomatoes and cucumber release moisture after cutting, so keeping the salad undressed and assembling it at the last minute helps preserve its crunch.
Dressed lettuce, cherry tomato and cucumber salad is best eaten the same day because the leaves soften and the vegetables release liquid. Keep any undressed leftovers covered and refrigerated, and use them soon while the lettuce is still crisp.
Romaine, butter lettuce, or crisphead lettuce all work well in this salad. Romaine and crisphead stay crunchy, while butter lettuce has softer leaves. Whichever type you choose, dry it well after washing so the dressing clings.
No, peeling the cucumber is optional. Wash it well and leave the skin on for extra crunch; peel it if the skin tastes bitter, feels tough, or you prefer a softer texture. Cherry tomatoes are usually left unpeeled.
Serve this salad with grilled chicken, fish, or eggs for a light meal, or alongside pasta, soup, or a sandwich. Its fresh, crisp vegetables pair especially well with rich, grilled, or savory dishes.
Add chickpeas, lentils, hard-boiled eggs, feta, or grilled chicken to make the salad more filling. Mix in cooked ingredients once they have cooled, then dress the salad just before serving to keep the lettuce crisp.
No, this salad does not freeze well. Lettuce, cucumber, and fresh cherry tomatoes become watery and limp after thawing, so prepare only what you plan to eat and keep leftovers refrigerated instead.

Lettuce, cherry tomato and cucumber salad brings together crisp lettuce leaves, juicy bite-sized tomatoes and refreshing cucumber. It is a simple everyday salad rather than a dish tied to one particular region, and versions of it are made in home kitchens and served in cafés around the world.
The cool crunch and mild sweetness make it an easy side for grilled food, sandwiches or a bowl of soup; it can also be a light meal with bread or beans. A squeeze of lemon or a light vinaigrette suits it well. With 18 calories per 100 g, it is mostly a fresh, water-rich choice, though the dressing can change the overall energy considerably. Add it just before serving to keep the leaves crisp.
