　　Every Super Bowl spread needs a refreshing salad to counterbalance the array of must-have dips, cheesy snacks, and meaty mains. Because the elements of this are all chopped, it's a salad that's easy to toss, easy to serve, and best of all, easy to eat.

Ingredients

　　2 tablespoons white wine vinegar

　　1 teaspoon sugar

　　1 small shallot, minced

　　1/3 cup olive oil

　　1 medium head romaine, chopped (4 to 6 cups)

　　1 seedless cucumber, diced (3 1/2 cups)

　　1 pint grape tomatoes, halved (1 3/4 cups)

　　1 red bell pepper, diced (1 1/2 cups)

　　2 celery stalks, halved lengthwise and finely chopped (1 cup)

　　3 carrots, finely chopped (1 3/4 cups)

　　1 small red onion, finely chopped

　　1 cup pitted black olives, halved (suit yourself whether you prefer the medium California black olives—a 6-ounce can—or Kalamata olives)
