Lettuce Olive Salad

Our Breakfast would be mostly Dosa, Upma, Bread Toast, Noodles or something simple and easy. Even if I make Dosa, the side dish would be just a chutney without vegetables. So I make it a point to include salads during breakfast. Also, it is impossible for me to include more veggies in a salad, so I make it two or three. 

This salad is very easy to prepare and it is so crunchy that it gets over very soon. The addition of olives makes it much more tasty and healthy.. Somehow, I am very much content with this salad and I've not tried any other new salad since few weeks.

Ingredients:

Iceberg Lettuce 1

Olives Few

Juice from half Lemon

Olive Oil 1/2 tsp (or as needed)

Pepper Powder 1/8 tsp (or as needed)

Salt

Method:

In a bowl, combine chopped lettuce and other ingredients.. Mix well and serve.

Notes:

You can also add Red Kidney Beans, Carrot and Cucumber.

Cucumber Olive Salad

I munch on cucumber or make raita. I've never made salad with cucumber. I thought why not prepare it.Here is the recipe. It came out so well and I love it.

Ingredients:

2 medium sized cucumbers
1 small non juicy Tomato
3 tsp sliced olives
1 tsp white vinegar
2 pinch of pepper powder
Salt

Preparation:

Slice cucumber as thin as possible. Cut tomatoes into small pieces.

Method:

In a large bowl, combine sliced cucumbers, chopped tomatoes, vinegar,olives, pepper powder and salt. 
Give it a toss. 
Keep it for half an hour and then serve.

Serves: 1

Notes:

You can add chopped coriander leaves. I just wanted to serve it plain.
You can also add black olives to give a nice color and taste to the salad.
Since this is a cucumber salad, I have included it more and added other ingredients in lesser proportions.
