Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium English cucumber
- 1 head Romaine lettuce
- 1 small Red onion
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon Fresh mint leaves
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Start by washing all the vegetables under cold running water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Slice the English cucumber thinly. For slightly thicker slices, use a mandoline slicer for uniformity and speed.
Tear the Romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.
Peel the red onion and slice it thinly into rings. Separate the rings and add them to the salad bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl.
Chop the fresh mint leaves finely and sprinkle them over the salad.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until the dressing is emulsified and smooth.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients. Toss gently using salad tongs to coat all the vegetables evenly with the dressing.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve immediately for the freshest flavor.
