A simple salad | Food Production and Preservation | Forums

here is a simple salad we always have made when growing up and has always meant summer to me

grab some cucumbers, take a fork and score them length wise

when you slice them up it makes those fancy restaurant grooves, now you know the secret

grab some tomatoes

and cut them up into bite size pieces

grab a onion

and chop it up

grab some supplies for the dressing, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic powder, salt and pepper

I use a 1:1 ration of vinegar to oil and season to taste

the secret ingredient 

coat it well with parmesan cheese

and toss it well

it's best to let it set overnight for the flavors to blend together, I could eat that whole bowl
