*** Note For the tomato, u want a plump juicy red tomato. Plum tomatoes wont work here as they r too dry and wont create enough liquid. :)

*** note for the croutons: i used an herb seasoned french bread crouton. Plain french bread made into croutons will work as well. Also italian seasoned crroutons go well. I have alot of recipes in my profile to make your own croutons. U can really use any bread with any seasoning.

*** note for salad mix: any salad mix will do! Just choose your favorite. *** i used 2 different kinds prebagged mixes because i really love a variety without spending an arm and a leg. a kale mix and a spring veggie mix which consisted of the following.. baby kale, shaved brussel sprouts, radicchio, red cabbage, sliced radishes, sliced carrots, baby tango lettuce, baby red and green romain lettuce, red and green oak lettuce, baby butter lettuce, green leaf lettuce,lollorossa lettuce, red bok choy,baby spinach, arugula and mizuna.

( keeping stirring after each addition gets the tomatoes to juice well.)
