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.

So here is how you can make this yummy and simple romaine lettuce salad following this easy lettuce tomato salad recipe.
