In this article, you will learn how to make a very simple lettuce salad that also tastes good. This will be helpful especially when one is in a rush, or just too lazy to make a proper lunch.

Ingredients

  • Lettuce
  • 2 large lemons or vinegar
  • Cooking oil
  • Sugar

Steps

  1. 1
    Wash lettuce. Separate lettuce from the cluster. If the lettuce is from the garden, then you will need to soak it in salt water or use a drop of bleach to make sure it is properly clean.[1]
  2. 2
    Cut lettuce. Cut the lettuce in whatever size you want, but preferable large cuts on a tray or bowl.[2]

  3. 3
    Put the cut lettuce aside.
  4. 4
    Squeeze the lemons. If you are using lemon, then squeeze the lemons into a cup.[3] If you are using vinegar, then pour a reasonable amount into a cup.
  5. 5
    Add sugar to the vinegar or lemon. The amount of sugar should be enough to have a thick syrup-like consistency. Mix it very well that the sugar crystals are not visible.
  6. 6
    Put a small amount of cooking oil into the "syrup". Mix well.
  7. 7
    Use a spoon to spread the lemon/vinegar syrup on the cut salad. Mix lightly.
  8. 8
    Slice the tomatoes and onions and add them to your salad. This is optional.
