Ingredients

• Lettuce
• Cucumber, sliced
• Cherry tomatoes
• Croutons
• Salt, to taste
• Pepper, to taste
• Garlic powder, to taste
• Dried Italian seasoning, to taste
• Balsamic vinegar, to taste
• Olive oil, to taste

Steps

1. Wash the lettuce if using fresh; pat dry. If using bagged lettuce, you can skip washing.
2. Combine lettuce, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and croutons in a large bowl.
3. Sprinkle salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried Italian seasoning over the salad.
4. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and olive oil to taste.
5. Toss well, being careful not to over-salt.
6. Optional: add a splash of water to the bowl so a little dressing pools at the bottom — great for dipping bread.
