This super simple salad is one that my family has been making for years. I remember my grandmother making this for Sunday dinners, and now both my mom and I keep it in constant rotation. The best part is, you can just throw in whatever veggies you have on hand. I usually keep it to cucumbers and tomatoes, as this is what I know the boys will eat!

My grandmother would make this with Iceberg lettuce, but I prefer Romaine- you still the wonderful crunch of Iceberg, but a smidge more nutrients. But truly, you can use whatever greens you have on hand.
