Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Cucumber
- 1 head Romaine lettuce
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
Instructions
Start by washing all the vegetables thoroughly under cold running water.
Peel the cucumbers if desired, although the skin can be left on for added fiber and nutrients. Slice them thinly into rounds.
Take the romaine lettuce, remove the outer leaves if wilted, and chop the rest into bite-sized pieces.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in halves.
Slice the red onion thinly and set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, combine fresh lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Whisk these ingredients together until well emulsified to create the dressing.
Take a large salad bowl and combine the sliced cucumbers, chopped lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced red onion.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the vegetables in the dressing.
Finely chop the fresh dill and sprinkle over the salad for added flavor.
Serve immediately to enjoy the crispness of the fresh vegetables.
