This salad is healthy, a great side dish - or a big lunch - and can be substituted a variety of ways in terms of vegetables used and what you have on hand. It's simple, refreshing and made using ingredients around the kitchen.
Also, I'm a strong believer in making one's own salad dressings and accoutrements so that they're healthier, don't stand in the fridge forever (yes, I'm talking to you: relish and bacon ranch dressing from two years ago) and that way it's also a little cheaper in the long run.

Ingredients:
4 leaves iceberg lettuce
2 mini cucumbers

1/4 teaspoon pepper
Goat cheese as garnish
Instructions:
