Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Romaine lettuce
- 1 medium English cucumber
- 2 stalks Celery stalks
- 1 large Avocado
- 4 whole Radishes
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove Garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Start by washing and drying all fresh produce thoroughly.
Chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.
Slice the English cucumber into thin rounds or half-moons and add to the bowl.
Cut the celery stalks into thin slices and add them to the salad.
Halve the avocado, remove the pit, scoop out the flesh, and cut into cubes before adding it to the salad.
Thinly slice the radishes and add them to the salad for crunch and peppery flavor.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the salad for a burst of freshness.
Prepare the lemon vinaigrette by combining olive oil, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic in a small jar or bowl.
Season the vinaigrette with salt and black pepper, then shake or whisk until well combined.
Drizzle the lemon vinaigrette over the salad just before serving and toss to coat the ingredients evenly.
Optionally, sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the top of the salad for added richness (omit for strict keto).
Serve immediately, ensuring each portion receives an even distribution of the ingredients and dressing.
