Summer salad

Ingredients:

• 2 hearts of romaine lettuce
• 2 small plum tomatoes, diced
• 1 Kirby cucumber or 1/4 seedless cucumber, diced
• 1 small yellow onion or half a red onion, chopped
• 1 carrot, peeled and grated
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 - 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon of sugar

Preparation:

1. Place the salad greens in a salad bowl and top with the tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and carrots. In a small plastic container, combine the olive oil, vinegar, and sugar. Close the container and shake the dressing until the sugar dissolves, about 1 minute. Drizzle the dressing over the salad. Season with salt and pepper to taste and toss.
