ALL PURPOSE SALAD

Cool, delicious and pretty cocumber, tomato and onion salad. This is a refreshing and tangy salad, low in fat. It is elegant, well balanced but too simple.
INGREDIENTS:
1 Cucumber, thinly sliced
1/2 medium sized Onion
1 medium sized Tomato
1 1/2 tsp fresh Lemon juice
1/3 tsp freshly pounded Black Pepper powder
A pinch of dried oregano (optional)
1 tsp Olive oil
1 1/2 tbsp Italian Salad Dressing
Sea Salt to taste

METHOD:
Cut tomato and onion in desired shapes.
Now arrange tomato, cucumber and onions pieces on a plate or tray, as it looks little decorated.
Sprinkle with black pepper powder, lemon juice, oregano, olive oil and Italian dressing.
Before serving, add sea salt. Serve with starters or main course any time.

TIPS: If you want it creamy and not so low in fat, just add 2 tbsps mayonnaise.
