Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Romaine lettuce
- 200 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 small Red onion
- 1 small Cucumber
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Begin by preparing the vegetables. Wash the Romaine lettuce thoroughly under cold running water. Shake off excess water or use a salad spinner to dry it. Tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.
Rinse the cherry tomatoes and pat them dry. Halve them and add to the bowl with the lettuce.
Peel the outer skin of the red onion and cut it into thin slices. Add the onion slices to the salad bowl.
Wash the cucumber and slice it into thin rounds. Place the cucumber slices into the salad bowl as well.
For the vinaigrette, in a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and freshly ground black pepper until well combined.
Pour the vinaigrette over the salad. Toss gently to ensure the lettuce and vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Chop the fresh parsley finely and sprinkle it over the tossed salad for a finishing touch of flavor.
Serve immediately as a crisp and refreshing side dish to complement your meal.
