White House Salad












Ingredients:

1 Head of Lettuce ( I prefer romaine lettuce)
1 cucumber
2 in season tomatoes
1 /4 Red Onion
1 bunch of basil
1/ 3 cup of Olive Oil (for dressing)
4 tbsp of lemon juice (for dressing)
1 tsp of honey (for dressing) 



Directions:

*Wash and dry the lettuce. Tear it into bite-size pieces. Peel the cucumber and cut it into bite-sized bits ( I like to keep the peel on for extra fiber). Wash the tomatoes and cut them into bite sized pieces. Peel the onion and slice it as thin as possible. Wash and chop the basil into large pieces.

*In a large mixing bowl, combine the lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, onions and basil. Toss together so the ingredients are well mixed.

*For the dressing: place the dressing ingredients in a container with a tight-fitting lid. Cover the container and shake vigorously.* Add the dressing to the salad and toss. Serve right after tossing.
