- 1 large Carrot
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 8 ounces Whole30-compliant ham

- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder

Instructions
Begin by washing all the fresh produce thoroughly. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and add to a large salad bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and slice the cucumber into thin rounds. Add both to the salad bowl.
Remove the seeds from the red bell pepper, slice it into thin strips, and add to the bowl.
Thinly slice the radishes and carrot, and add them to the bowl as well.
Slice the green onions and chop the parsley finely. Add them to the salad mixture.
Cut the Whole30-compliant ham into bite-sized cubes or strips and mix with the vegetables.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard.
Slowly stream in the extra virgin olive oil while whisking constantly to emulsify.
Add the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the vinaigrette and whisk until smooth.
Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss to combine, making sure all ingredients are well coated.
Serve immediately or chill for up to 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
