Ingredients
  

  • 1 head romaine lettuce large, chopped
  • 1 each English/hothouse cucumber sliced
  • 2 medium carrots peeled and sliced into ribbons or rounds
  • 5 oz. grape tomatoes

  3. Wash and chop the romaine lettuce, cucumber, carrots, and onion. Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the chopped vegetables and toss gently.
