Lettuce and Tomato Salad

Total time: 10 minutes
   This is a light salad.... Add a sliced, hard boiled eggs or a bit of ham, if you like.  We just enjoyed the fresh picked lettuce and tomatoes.

 Ingredients:

• lettuce, enough for two small salads
• 2 small or 1 large garden ripe tomato
• 1/4 cup shredded cheese
• Vinaigrette:
• 1 tsp Dijon-style mustard
• 1 tbs Balsamic vinegar
• 1 tsp fresh snipped basil
• 3 tbs salad olive oil

 Instructions:

• Prepare lettuce and put into a medium bowl. 
• Add a bit of dressing and toss to coat (use tongs, it's easier).  Taste and add more dressing if desired. 
• Arrange lettuce on two plates. 
• Cut tomatoes into wedges and add to salads. 
• Sprinkle with cheese and serve, remaining vinaigrette on the side. 
• Vinaigrette:
• In small bowl whisk mustard and vinegar. 
• Add oil, a bit at a time and whisk well.  Add herbs.  Any leftover vinaigrette is great on sliced tomatoes.
