Heartburn Salad

Jason's stepmother makes this salad all the time and I could eat bowls and bowls of it. So good.

Ingredients:

  • Romaine lettuce
  • Roma tomatoes
  • Cucumber
  • 2 cloves of garlic (although in a hurry I've used garlic powder, and it's just as good)
  • Red wine vinegar
  • Olive oil
  • Dried basil and oregano
  • Salt and pepper

  1. Wash and cut lettuce into bite sized pieces
  2. Crush garlic and throw on top of lettuce (I've tried mincing it instead, and it's just not as good. Trust me on this)
  3. Peel and slice cucumber, and cut up tomatoes and throw on top.
  4. Drizzle olive oil and red wine vinegar on top (I don't know how much, I don't measure. Start with a couple tablespoons each, and add more if you need it.)
  5. Sprinkle salt, pepper, basil and oregano on top and toss.

It's best if you let it sit in the fridge for about 30 minutes before serving. And I've also tried making the dressing and then pouring it all on top, and it's just not the same. I have no idea why.
