- 50 grams Parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Wash the romaine lettuce thoroughly under cold water. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner.
Chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place in a large salad bowl.
Rinse the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half. Add to the salad bowl.
Peel the cucumber, slice it lengthwise, and then chop into half-moons. Add the cucumber slices to the bowl.
Peel and thinly slice half of a red onion, then add to the salad mixture.
Use a vegetable peeler to shave the Parmesan cheese into thin ribbons and sprinkle over the salad.
In a small mixing bowl or a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.
Whisk or shake well until the dressing is emulsified and ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Pour the dressing over the salad just before serving and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Serve the salad immediately for the best texture and flavor.
