Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Romaine lettuce
- 1 medium English cucumber
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Rinse the romaine lettuce under cold water and pat it dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Tear the lettuce leaves into bite-sized pieces and place in a large salad bowl.
Peel the English cucumber if desired. Slice the cucumber into thin rounds and add to the bowl with the lettuce.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the salad bowl.
Slice the half red onion thinly (half-moon slices work well) and add to the salad.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined and emulsified.
Pour the vinaigrette over the salad ingredients and toss gently to combine, ensuring the dressing coats all the vegetables evenly.
Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top of the salad for added flavor and garnish.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes before serving to meld flavors. Enjoy your refreshing soy-free salad!
