Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Iceberg lettuce
- 1 large Red onion
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium English cucumber
- 1 cup Shredded carrots
- 4 stalks Green onions
- 1 cup French fried onions
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Prepare your vegetables: thinly slice the red onion, halve the cherry tomatoes, thinly slice the cucumber, chop the green onions, and shred the carrots if not pre-shredded.
Wash the head of iceberg lettuce, remove the core, and chop it into bite-sized pieces. Pat dry with a kitchen towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess water.
In a clear glass bowl or salad dish, begin layering the salad. Start with the chopped iceberg lettuce as the base layer.
On top of the lettuce, add a layer of sliced red onion, followed by the cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, shredded carrots, and green onions. Repeat for a second layer if your dish allows.
Sprinkle the French fried onions evenly across the top for added crunch and flavor.
To prepare the dilly Dijon dressing, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, chopped fresh dill, honey, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until smooth.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving, or serve it on the side for individual portions.
Toss gently before serving to combine all the layers, allowing the dressing to coat the vegetables. Serve immediately for the best crunch and freshness.
