Classic House Salad
The perfect salad to take to a gathering because it's an all-around people pleaser!
Servings servings
Ingredients
- 2 heads romaine lettuce washed, dried, and chopped
- 1 English cucumber sliced or diced
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes sliced in half
- 1-2 cups croutons more if desired!
- Salad Dressing of choice
Instructions
- Wash and dry greens. Make sure greens are thoroughly dry before assembling salad, or it can water down the salad dressing.
- Slice or dice cucumber. English cucumbers do not need to be peeled or seeded. Cut cherry tomatoes in half, or even quarters, if desired. Slice red onion thinly. Arrange all vegetables on salad greens.
- Top with croutons right before serving so they don't get soggy. Drizzle Salad with dressing, or toss entire bowl with dressing right before serving.

Topping Variations
Though a classic house salad tends to be pretty straight forward, here are a few "extras" that can make it extra fun if you'd like to fancy it up a little!- Greens - Though romaine and/or iceberg is traditional, feel free to sub out our mix in a spring mix or baby spinach.
- Crunchies - You can never go wrong with a classic crouton, but other options are fried onions, crushed pita chips, or fried wontons.
- Tangy- For a tangy bite, try adding pepperoncinis or olives
