Fresh Summer Salad

Looking for a quick and delish salad recipe that you can whip in under 5 minutes?  You’re in for a healthy, refreshing treat! For starters, this simple summer salad recipe combines ingredients jam packed with water—cucumbers, lettuce and tomatoes boast between 93-96% of water content. We also know tomatoes contain lycopene and studies have linked it with protection against oxidative damage.
