Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lettuce

    Wash the lettuce leaves thoroughly under cold water. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or spin in a salad spinner. Tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Slice the Tomato

    Using a sharp knife, slice the tomato into even rounds. Aim for about 1/4 inch thickness for optimal texture.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Pickles

    Take the pickle slices out of the jar. If they are whole, slice them into rounds or spears, depending on your preference.

  4. 4

    Slice the Onion

    Peel the outer layer of the onion and slice it into thin rings or half-moons, depending on your preference.
