Delicious green olive salad

Season - Delicious green olive salad by Zenobia A. - Recipia

Delicious green olive salad brings together tomatoes, lettuce leaves, green onions and pimento-stuffed olives in a fresh mix. Oil and salt bring everything together in a fasting salad with tomatoes and olives, good on its own or alongside another dish. I choose leaves with firm ribs and cut them into narrow strips, not finely chopped. Prep: 15 minutes. Cook: 0 minutes. Total time: 15 minutes. Serves: 3. About 170 kcal and 3 g protein per serving.

Ingredients

  • 2 tomatoes
  • 1 head of lettuce
  • 1 bunch of green onions
  • 100 g green olives stuffed with pimentos
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons oil

Preparation

1. Wash the tomatoes, lettuce and green onions, then dry them. Drain the olives. 2. I diced the tomatoes, cut the lettuce into thin strips, the green onions into bite-size pieces and the olives into rounds, then seasoned everything with 1 teaspoon of salt and 2 tablespoons of oil.

Notes

You can use 100 g plain green olives instead of the stuffed ones; the salad will still be suitable for fasting. Cut the vegetables close to serving time, since the salt draws juice from the tomatoes and softens the leaves. If you want to prepare everything ahead, keep the tomatoes, leaves and green onions in separate containers in the fridge, then mix them together at the table. Choose ripe tomatoes that are still firm to the touch; very soft ones get crushed when you toss the strips. The leaves should be drained and dried well after washing, otherwise water will collect at the bottom of the bowl. When the green onions taste too sharp, use more of the green part and cut the white part finer. Stuffed olives can be salty, so taste before adding the whole teaspoon of salt. You can serve it with baked potatoes or a slice of bread.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use iceberg lettuce too?

Yes, use one small iceberg lettuce, about 250 g, and cut the leaves into strips.

Can I replace the green onions with red onion?

Use 1/2 a medium red onion, about 50 g, thinly sliced and left in cold water for 5 minutes.

Can I use cherry tomatoes?

Yes, replace the tomatoes with 200 g cherry tomatoes cut in half.
