Ingredients
1
head of butter lettuce
torn into bite-sized pieces
1
cup
cherry tomatoes
halved
½
onion
thinly sliced
2
tablespoons
olive oil
1
tablespoon
balsamic vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the butter lettuce, cherry tomatoes, and sliced onions.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine. Serve immediately.
Notes
Always wash and dry your lettuce thoroughly to prevent it from being soggy.
For a milder onion flavor, you can soak sliced onions in cold water for about 10 minutes, then drain.
To enhance flavors, allow the salad to sit for a few minutes after tossing with the dressing.
If storing for later, keep the dressing separate to maintain freshness.
Add in some fresh herbs like basil or parsley for an additional layer of flavor.
