Here’s a salad everyone will love and it is so simple. I think that’s why everyone loves it. There is nothing fancy about it, no adventurous vegetables or textures. Just an old-fashioned crunch, iceberg lettuce salad with the traditional toppings. What makes this special is the juice from the tomatoes! Dressing is optional it is so delicious on it’s own.
My Mama taught me to make this and she is a very traditional foods, southern food loving woman! She doesn’t go for the modern, fancy salads. My Father-In-Law loves it too and he is traditional and won’t eat hardly anything green ha ha!!
If you have a big group coming over for dinner this is the salad you want to make. It’s delicious without dressing because the juices and salt and pepper. However, you can top it with your favorite salad dressing!
