Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Vegetables
Wash the mixed greens thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner.

Chop the Tomato
Dice the large tomato into bite-sized pieces. Set aside in a large mixing bowl.

Slice the Cucumber
Peel the cucumber if desired, then slice it into thin rounds or half-moons. Add to the mixing bowl with the diced tomato.

Prepare the Onion
Peel and thinly slice the red onion. You can soak the slices in cold water for a few minutes to reduce the sharpness, if desired. Add to the mixing bowl.
