Grease loaf pan with about a 1 liter (approximately 4 cups) capacity and fill with meat mixture. Bake in preheated oven on lower rack for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
For the salad, rinse lettuce and shake dry. Rinse cherry tomatoes and cut in half. Peel onion and cut into rings. Mix oil with vinegar and season with salt and pepper.
