Lettuce Salad with Creamy Dressing and Cherry Tomatoes
Total time: 10 minutes
This is a small side salad: to round out the meal. You can add bits of anything you have on hand; we're using some cherry tomatoes and a bit of cheese. The yogurt dressing is similar to 'Ranch'.... but without all the unpronounceable ingredients...
