Start by washing and drying the romaine lettuce and spinach leaves. Tear the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl, along with the spinach leaves.

Trim the radishes, slice them thinly, and add them to the salad for a peppery crunch.
For the lemon vinaigrette, whisk together olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl.
Mince the garlic clove finely and add it to the vinaigrette.
Season the vinaigrette with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Drizzle the lemon vinaigrette over the salad just before serving, and toss gently to combine all the ingredients.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh, low-carb crisp green salad.
