Ingredients

• 1 cup cherry tomatoes 🍅
• 1 cup green olives 🫒
• 1 cucumber 🥒
• 1 cup parmesan cheese 🧀
• 1/4 cup salt 🧂
• 1/2 cup pepper 🌶️
• 1/4 cup lettuce 🥬

Instructions

1. Optional Dressings: Although this salad is fantastic on its own, you may substitute the Italian salad dressing with Tomato & Basil, Tomato & Oregano, Greek, or Balsamic Vinegar dressings for a different flavor twist.

2. No Dressing Needed: The salad also tastes great without any salad dressing, so feel free to enjoy it in its natural, flavorful state.

3. Prep the Tomatoes: Wash the cherry tomatoes thoroughly and cut them in half. Their juicy sweetness is essential for the fresh taste of this salad.

4. Slice the Olives: Coarsely slice the green olives. Remember, do not wash them as they come brined, adding a delightful tang to the salad.

5. Prepare the Cucumber: Peel the cucumber, then chop it into small, bite-sized pieces. The cucumber adds a crisp texture and refreshing taste.

6. Slice the Onion: Thinly slice and dice the onion. The onion’s sharp flavor complements the sweetness of the tomatoes and the saltiness of the olives.

7. Shred the Parmesan: Using a grater, shred the parmesan cheese into large shreds. This adds a rich, nutty flavor to the salad.

8. Shake the Dressing: If you choose to use salad dressing, make sure to shake it well before adding it to ensure all the flavors are well-mixed.

9. Combine and Chill: Combine all the prepared ingredients in a large bowl. Stir them together gently to mix the flavors. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for about 2 hours. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld beautifully.

10. Serve and Enjoy: Once the salad is nicely chilled, serve it on a bed of fresh lettuce. The crisp, cool lettuce adds an extra layer of texture and taste to this delightful salad. Enjoy your fresh, flavorful Ed’s Salad!
