Ingredients
- 1 head Romaine lettuce
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 0.5 small Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Wash the romaine lettuce thoroughly under cold running water. Gently pat it dry with paper towels or use a salad spinner to remove excess water.
Chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place it into a large salad bowl.
Rinse and halve the cherry tomatoes. Add them to the salad bowl with the lettuce.
Peel the cucumber and slice it thinly. Add the cucumber slices to the salad bowl.
Finely slice the red onion half and add it to the salad.
In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Whisk them together until well mixed to form the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss the ingredients together until evenly coated.
Chop the fresh parsley finely and sprinkle it over the salad.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving, allowing the flavors to meld together.
