Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Romaine lettuce
- 12 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 4 pieces Radishes
- 0.25 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cup Red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash the romaine lettuce thoroughly under cold water. Break it into bite-sized pieces and dry it with a salad spinner or clean kitchen towel.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half. Peel the cucumber, slice it in half lengthwise, and then into thin half-moons.
Thinly slice the red onion and radishes.
In a large salad bowl, combine the romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and radishes.
To make the vinaigrette, finely mince the garlic and add it to a small mixing bowl.
Add the extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the garlic.
Whisk the vinaigrette ingredients together until they are well combined and emulsified.
Drizzle the homemade vinaigrette over the salad just before serving. Toss the salad gently to coat the vegetables evenly.
Serve immediately as a sugar-free, crisp, and refreshing side or light main dish.
