What she’d tell you
A good salad is an art, not just a pile of leaves! The dressing is everything: 3 parts oil, 1 part vinegar.
What you need
Written for 2. Change that in the app and the amounts follow.
Tick things off as you get them ready.

How it goes
Wash and dry all your greens and vegetables thoroughly.
Tear the lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Slice the tomato and cucumber.
Make the dressing: whisk 3 tablespoons olive oil with 1 tablespoon lemon juice and a pinch of salt.
Toss everything together in a big bowl. Drizzle the dressing and serve immediately!
If you haven’t got it
Lemon
red wine vinegar, about half as much: it is sharper
Lettuce
any leaf you have; something bitter like radicchio is lovely with the sweet tomato
Keeping it
Dressed, it wilts within the hour. Undressed, the cut vegetables keep a day covered in the fridge, so dress only what goes on the table.
Nothing to reheat here, dear.
