Ingredients for Cold Cuts Salad Serves 2
Cold cuts 200 gr (bacon) Lettuce 300 gr Cherry tomatoes 100 gr Onion 100 gr Olive oil 2 tablespoons Vinegar 2 tablespoons Sugar 1 tablespoon
How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to choose crispy and delicious lettuce
- For choosing lettuce for the salad, you can select any type of lettuce based on your preferences and taste!
- You should choose lettuce heads with thick stems, bright green outer leaves, and pale green inner leaves.
- Avoid choosing lettuce heads that are yellowing, wilting, or have dark green leaves as these are older lettuces, which will taste bitter and be less crispy.
How to choose quality cherry tomatoes
- First, you should choose those with bright red color, intact skin, and plump.
- Next, you should prioritize selecting those with green stems that are firmly attached to the fruit. When smelling, they should have a characteristic fragrant, sweet aroma.
- Avoid choosing fruits that are soft, mushy, or have wrinkled skin because these tomatoes have been stored for a long time or are about to go bad. Additionally, you should not choose those with green skin as they are usually less sweet!
How to make Cold Cut Salad

Prepare the vegetables
Lettuce should have the wilted and yellow leaves removed, then washed and drained in a basket. For larger lettuce leaves, you can cut them into smaller pieces for easier eating!
Soak the cherry tomatoes in diluted salt water for about 5 minutes, then rinse with clean water and drain. After that, cut all the cherry tomatoes in half and place them in a bowl.
Peel the onion, cut off the root, then slice it into thin rings and soak in ice water to make the onion crunchier and reduce the pungent smell.

Prepare cold meat
Place a frying pan on the stove, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil into the pan and turn the stove to medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the cold meat to fry both sides until golden. Fry each side for about 30 seconds.
After frying, wait for the meat to cool slightly, then use a knife to cut it into small pieces and place it on a plate.
-
Mix the salad
For the cold meat salad, we will mix a dressing consisting of: 2 tablespoons of vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then stir well until the sugar dissolves completely.
Arrange the lettuce on a plate, then add the sliced onion and cherry tomatoes on top. Finally, place the fried cold meat on top and drizzle the dressing evenly to complete the dish.
