Ingredients

  • one head Lettuce
  • 1/4 kilo Tomatoes Preferably cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice preferably fresh squeezed
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • fresh garlic clove optional
  • 1 can chick peas optional

Instructions

  • Wash/clean lettuce. To make lettuce kosher, soak for 5 minutes in large bowl with 1 tsp. salt stirred into water. (The salt will lift up any dirt, bugs, etc.)
  • Take individual leaves, one by one, and rinse them off and then check that there is only a fully clean lettuce leaf.
  • Shake off excess water from lettuce leaves, place lettuce leaves on paper towel to try, or at least in a strainer.
  • Wash and cut cherry tomatoes in fours.
  • Dressing: In large bowl, place the following: olive oil lemon juice salt
  • If desired: Minced fresh garlic - one clove.
  • LEAVE DRESSING AT BOTTOM OF BOWL UNTIL READY TO SERVE.
  • Chop lettuce, add to bowl. Add cut tomatoes.
  • When ready to serve, mix from bottom up. Having dressing at the bottom and then mixing up allows for an excellent distribution of the dressing!
  • Enjoy, Chaya
