8 lettuce leaves (you can use radicchio, bibb, boston, or anything you like)
Salad
2 cups chopped iceberg lettuce
2 plum tomatoes, diced (slightly seeded)
2 hard-boiled eggs, diced
1/4 cup chopped bacon
1 small red onion, diced
1/2 cup cucumber, diced (skin on)
1/4 sup sliced black olives
Dressing
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
salt
pepper

1
Dressing -- Add all the ingredients and mix well. Just set to the side.
2
Salad -- In a large bowl add all the ingredients and toss well. Now remember -- you can add anything, these are just my favorites. Make IT YOUR salad. I just like to chop well so it is easy to fit into the lettuce leaves.
3
Toss and Fill -- I just like to toss the chopped salad with a little of the dressing, not too heavy and then fill into the lettuce leaves. My favorite is radicchio or bibb, but you can use any type of leaf you want. You can also secure the leaf with a tooth pic too which is fun and then serve small cups of extra dressing on the side.
4
Now if you are a buttermilk type dressing by all means, or a balsamic dressing. You can really use your favorites here. It is more the method and the technique which just makes it really fun to serve at parties. Just have fun with them.
