Red Lettuce Salad image

This recipe is from the Busy People's Low-Carb Cookbook by Dawn Hall. I like to do the first part of this early in the day and then toss with the dressing just before serving

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 head red-leaf lettuce, rinsed clean and torn into bite size pieces
1/2 cup chopped cucumber
5 black olives, sliced
1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese (the kind in the bag NOT the grated stuff in the can)
10 cherry tomatoes, sliced
1/2 cup fat-free red wine vinaigrette

Steps:

  • Pat the lettuce dry with clean paper towels or spin the rinsed pieces in the salad spinner until dry.
  • Put the clean, dry,torn lettuce in a large glass salad bowl.
  • Sprinkle the chopped cucumber, sliced black olives, sliced cherry tomatoes and shredded Parmesan cheese over the lettuce pieces.
  • Do not toss yet.
  • Cover and chill until ready to serve.
  • Just before serving toss the salad with the dressing and serve chilled.
  • As an added touch chill your salad bowls in the freezer so they will be well chilled for a more special presentation.
  • Enjoy !
