Ingredients
- 2 Sliced Tomatoes
- 5 Leafs Shedded Lettuce
- 1/4 Onions
- 1/4 Peeled & Sliced Cucumber
- 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
- 3 Tbsp Mayonnaise
- Salt
Directions
Salads are almost always served with both lunch and dinner but occasionally when more ingredients are added will be served as a first course. Tomatoes, cucumber and onions are used to make the traditional Albanian salad, seasoned with salt, oil and sometime balsamic vinegar too. We make our salads based on what we have grown in our garden, all fresh and straight to the table.
Tip: You can make this Albanian salad ahead of time and store in the fridge. Don’t add the olive oil, balsamic vinegar or salt until just before serving, this will prevent the salad from going soggy.
