    Lettuce tomato salad recipe is one of the most easy and refreshing salad recipes for summer(and other seasons as well!). Lettuce is one of the best green leafy vegetables to make a very simple yet delicious salad. Lettuce is crunchy and tasty and makes the perfect ingredient of salads. Also try this scrambled tofu lettuce salad if you like lettuce salads. I especially love the soft, young and crunchy leaves inside the romaine lettuce hearts. More easy, refreshings salads include watermelon feta cheese salad, kiwi strawberry salad, strawberry banana blueberry fruit salad, mango banana fruit salad, watermelon blueberry kale salad and more!

    You can use a salad spinner to rinse and dry  the salad greens very easily,  and this will make your life easier if you love salads. This refreshing summer salad is vegan salad as well. See high protein vegan salads cookbook here. You can make use any kind of lettuce for salads like romaine lettuce or iceberg lettuce, in this recipe for lettuce tomato salad, I am using fresh leaves from the heart of romaine lettuce heads. Romaine heart is the word used to define the young leaves from inside a romaine lettuce head. They are the most young and fresh leaves inside the romaine lettuce heads and so they will be so fresh and make great salad leaves.

    Of course, you can use the outer leaves too if you like, but definitely use the inside ones as they are so good to be used in salads. This is a very simple, basic yet hearty and delicious green leafy salad made of fresh romaine lettuce and cherry tomatoes. You can substitute regular tomatoes for cherry tomatoes, if you don't have cherry tomatoes. But I love using cherry tomatoes for this salad as they look so good in this salad.
