Summer salad w/ Basic Vinaigrette

Few days ago we had a get together with some friends , and she brought salad . And when we tasted it , it reminds me of acar timun , it’s almost like pickled cucumber back in indonesia , as a condiment when we eat fried rice of chinese noodle or anything you can think of . So i kinda thought .. why not putting together salad and used the basic vinaigrette , it probably will turn out to be like that . Although with basic vinaigrette, it needs vegetable oil , while acar timun in indonesia is only vinegar , sugar and salt. The two has the similar taste , so i whipped up about 3/4 cup of vegetable oil with 1/4 cup of vinegar and about 2-3 tbsp. of sugar , you can always add to your preference , and pinch of salt . As for the salad , i had 2 kinds of lettuce that harvested from my own back yard , i used bibb lettuce and romaine lettuce , and then raddichio , lots of cucumber , cos i love them , red onion or shallots , and tomatoes . That’s it .. and this is a great side salad over anything , or you can always use it as a condiments , just like earlier i had it on top of hot dog !! And also i used it as a side for the sweet spicy fish my husband cooked for dinner . It was refreshing and delicious .. My mom used to make it only with cucumber , but with all the fresh vegetable we have this summer .. why only stick to one type ? All kinds of vegetables are better in here ..
