Why this Baby Lettuce Salad is perfect for summer

Baby Lettuce Salad are one of the best ways to get your daily quota of vegetables. They're light, refreshing and have a great crunch. And if you're not into raw onions or garlic, just chop them up finely so they don't take over your taste buds. Of course, make sure to use your favorite dressing to bring the flavors together.

Eating salads is also an easy way to meet nutritional needs for low-calorie meals (assuming that other high calorie food like pasta isn't mixed in). But while salads can be delicious and nutritious, there's no denying that some are better than others; it all depends on what you put in it! Here's how I made this baby lettuce salad perfect for summer.

Describe how to make the Baby Lettuce Salad

You start by washing and tearing, or cutting into shreds, your favorite lettuce.

Then rinse and drain your cheese of choice (I like feta).

Chop up any toppings you're adding to the salad, like tomatoes, cucumbers, corn, red onion, bell peppers.

Put in the dressing of choice (I love good quality balsamic vinaigrette!). Toss it all together with a pinch of sea salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
