Tomato Cucumber and Lettuce Salad in A Lemon Dressing
by Tarla Dalal
A simple salad made with ingredients that are usually handy in every kitchen. The dressing is what makes this salad so special. Its simple refreshing flavours complement those of the salad ingredients (i. e. The tomato, lettuce, cucumber and cheese) perfectly. What i usually do is make a large quantity of this dressing and refrigerate it, so i don't have to keep making a dressing each time i make salad. Also, all flavors mellow better if they are left together for a while. This recipe will nourish you with calcium and protein from the cheese and provide vitamin c from the lemon juice which will also help in the absorption of iron.
