Persian Salad

This is Eric's new favorite.  It seems so basic, but is unbelievably refreshing and light.  Perfect accompaniment for a summer dinner.

4 tomatoes

1 cucumber

1 carrot

1 onion

1 bunch romaine, or other favorite lettuce

2 T olive oil

juice of 1 lemon (2T)

1 garlic clove, crushed and chopped

salt and pepper

Cut the tomatoes and cucumbers into tiny cubes.  Finely chop onion, and tear lettuce into bite sized pieces.  Shred the carrot.  Mix tomato, cuke, onion, carrot, and lettuce together in a large bow.  In a separate small bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper.  Stir in salt to taste.  Pour dressing over salad and toss lightly.  Sprinkle with pepper, and serve.

He asked him if he had brought any Girl Scout cookies...and then WHAT time did he plan to have his daughter home? The poor guy (he is recently 16 too!) was great and said, "whatever time you would like her home." Later, on the date (the went on a group date to Cafe Rio for dinner and then went and played games at an amusement center) he told McKay he thought her dad really did want the Girl Scout cookies. McKay told him that he was only kidding. I think Ty loves to make these poor guys nervous... She did have a really asdfnice time and he was a gentlemen. It was weird watching her get dressed to go on a date.
