- 1
large tomato, diced
- 1
cucumber, diced
- 1
carrot, shredded or ribboned
- 1
green pepper, sliced into rings

Tip:
Serve wet or highly perishable salad ingredients such
as hard-cooked eggs, tomatoes and cucumbers in separate bowls, salad-bar
style to avoid soggy leftovers. This also cuts down on waste, as
diners choose only the veggies and toppings they like rather than
just pushing costly ingredients to the side of the plate.

Wine vinegar, flavored or not

If the vinaigrette is not thick enough for your taste, add Dijon
mustard, ½ teaspoon at a time until it is.
