Lettuce, tomato and cucumber salad brings crisp lettuce together with juicy tomato and refreshing cucumber. It is a simple everyday salad rather than a dish tied to one particular place, and versions of it are served around the world, often made just before eating so the leaves stay crisp.
The mild, crunchy lettuce balances the sweetness of ripe tomato and the cool, watery bite of cucumber. A little olive oil and lemon or vinegar makes an easy dressing; serve it alongside grilled food, sandwiches or a larger meal, or enjoy it on its own as a light side. It is mostly water and low in calories, making it a fresh choice when you want something light. Add beans or chickpeas if you would like it to be more filling.
