All you need is (makes about 4 helpings) :   

A handful of lettuce 

2 tomatoes  

2 onions  

1 capsicum (green peppers)  

Mayonnaise 

For the dressing:   

4 tbsp Olive Oil  

5 tbsp Lemon juice 

1-2 tbsp Vinegar  

2 tbsp Honey 

1/2 tsp ground Black Pepper 

Salt to taste 

1 tsp Mustard 

2 pinches dried Oregano 

A pinch of dried Basil  

4-5 cloves of finely chopped Garlic

Method: 

1. In a small bowl, whisk together all the dressing ingredients. Tweak quantities as per your taste. Let the dressing stand, covered, at room temperature. 

2. Tear up the lettuce in a salad bowl. Add chopped tomatoes, onions and capsicum. 

3. Pour in required amount of dressing and mayonnaise right before serving the salad! 

4. Slurp!

Tips:

- Tear up the lettuce with your hands rather than using a knife.

- You can skip 1 or 2 ingredients if they aren't as per your taste or convenience.

- Feel free to  throw in some corn, olives, roasted chicken or even some roasted peanuts! This dressing is called versatile for a reason :)

- Tastes scrumptious with garlic bread or even plain buttered toast!

Who knew salads could taste amazing, right? You're welcome :)
