Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Romaine lettuce
- 1 large Cucumber
- 20 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 small Red onion
- 1 medium Avocado
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash the Romaine lettuce thoroughly under cold running water. Pat it dry using a kitchen towel or spin it dry in a salad spinner. Tear or chop the lettuce leaves into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.
Peel the cucumber if desired, and slice it thinly. Add the cucumber slices to the salad bowl.
Rinse the cherry tomatoes and halve them lengthwise. Add them to the salad bowl.
Peel and thinly slice half of a small red onion, and add it to the salad bowl.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and dice the flesh into small chunks. Gently fold the avocado into the salad mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice until well combined. Add the chopped fresh dill, salt, and black pepper. Whisk again to blend the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary with additional salt and pepper.
Serve immediately or chill for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
