Tomato, lettuce and cucumber salad brings together juicy tomatoes, crisp lettuce and cool cucumber, usually cut into bite-sized pieces. It is a simple, familiar combination rather than a dish tied to one particular origin, and the ingredients are often dressed with lemon juice, olive oil or vinegar. The balance of ripe tomato and crunchy greens makes it easy to adapt to what is in season.
