The salad ingredients you’ll need include:
- 1 medium cucumber

- 3 leaves of fresh romaine lettuce
For the dressing you’ll need:
- 2 teaspoons seasoned or unseasoned rice vinegar

- Dash Redmond’s Real Salt
Directions
- To make this salad, first tear the romaine leaves into bite sized pieces and place them into your serving bowl.
- Then, chop your tomatoes into bite sized pieces and add them to the bowl.
- Thinly slice your onion and add to your salad.
- Lastly, cut the ends off the cucumber and slice it into thin slices.
- Add this to the salad and arrange.
- Next, you’ll sprinkle the dressing ingredients over the salad.
- I like to sprinkle with Redmond’s Real Salt, which is optional.
- Then, pour 2 teaspoons rice vinegar on top.
- Measure and pour mustard on top.
- Lastly, if you’re using unseasoned rice vinegar and want a little sweetness, sprinkle on 1 teaspoon mirin.
Tips
- I like to use chopsticks to toss the salad ingredients together. You can also place all ingredients into a container with a lid and simply shake well.
- This salad is great for taking to-go.
- I like to enjoy this salad with a big bowl of miso soup.
- If you want to add some protein to this salad, add ½ cup of your favorite beans or cooked tempeh.
