Task: Question Answering
Input (English): Passage: My family likes to eat a mixed salad as part of our dinner sometimes . One night I taught my son how to create this salad . We started by washing our hands to keep the food from getting germs in it . We took out a strainer to wash the lettuce mix before putting it in the bowl . We poured the lettuce mix into the strainer and washed it under the kitchen faucet . Once the lettuce mix was washed , I made sure to shake as much of the water out of it as possible . In the process my son and I had splashed a bit of water on each other , all in fun . We washed one cucumber and one tomato that we took out of the refrigerator . We sliced the cucumber in 1/4 inch round pieces and put them in the salad . Next , we cut the top yellow core out of the tomato . The pieces were n't perfect , but it was pretty well done for his first time . We placed the tomatoes into the salad . Using a large spoon and fork we picked up the salad pieces in the bowl and dropped them again until the salad was mixed well . We dumped the croutons on top . The salad was ready to serve . Now when our family wants salad for dinner , my son knows how to make it himself . Question: What did they take out? Option1: Cucumber and tomatoes Option2: A salad.
Output (English): Cucumber and tomatoes
