1 cup (150g) or more grape tomatoes, cut in half lengthwise
2 cups (300g) cucumbers, seeded and diced
½ red onion, sliced
1 carrot, peeled and shredded
½ cup (58g) radishes, sliced (optional)
¼ cup (28g) bacon bits (optional)
1 avocado, pitted and diced (optional)
salad dressing (see notes)

Instructions

In a large salad bowl, layer romaine lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, onion, carrots, radish, and optional ingredients.
Drizzle the desired dressing on the salad and toss to combine. Serve immediately.

Notes

Nutritional data per serving is without dressing.
My choice of dressings includes honey mustard, blue cheese, ranch, and Thousand Island.
A salad spinner is such a life-saver. Some people call it a salad tosser, but either way, you can wash, dry, and store your lettuce in the same container.
Store clean lettuce wrapped in a damp kitchen or paper towel in a ziplock bag. Squeeze out excess air or use an airtight container that you can squeeze air out of. I love my Tupperware for that.
Please remember that the nutritional information is a rough estimate and can vary significantly based on the products used in the recipe.
