Salad
*Romaine Lettuce- for quick and easy, use bagged romaine hearts (3 sm. heads come to a bag). Two heads work well for family of 4-6.
Discard a few outer/older leaves to reach more tender, less predominantly ribbed leaves.
Discard stem, and slice entire head at once, toss in salad spinner or strainer and rinse for maximum crispness.
1 large Avocado, diced
½ English Cucumber semi-pealed and diced

* Romaine lettuce apparently reached the West via Rome, as in Italian it is called lattuga romana and in French laitue romaine, hence the name ‘romaine’, the common term in English. Resource: Wikipedia
