Ingredients

• 1 head Romaine lettuce
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 small Red onion
• 1 large Avocado
• 0.5 cup Feta cheese
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
• 1 large Lime
• 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by washing and drying all the vegetables and herbs. Make sure your produce is well-rinsed to remove any dirt or residues.

Step 2

Chop the romaine lettuce into bite-size pieces and place it in a large salad bowl.

Step 3

Peel the cucumber if desired (leaving it unpeeled adds more texture) and slice it into thin rounds. Add them to the bowl with the lettuce.

Step 4

Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the salad bowl.

Step 5

Thinly slice the red onion into half moons and add to the salad for a bit of crunch and color.

Step 6

Prepare the avocado by cutting it in half, removing the pit, and scooping the flesh into cubes. Add the avocado to the salad.

Step 7

Crumble the feta cheese over the salad.

Step 8

Finely chop the fresh cilantro and sprinkle it over the salad for a burst of freshness.

Step 9

In a small mixing bowl, squeeze the juice from the lime, removing any seeds. Add the extra virgin olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create a simple dressing.

Step 10

Whisk the dressing ingredients together until emulsified.

Step 11

Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring all the ingredients are lightly coated with the dressing.

Step 12

Serve immediately and enjoy your Low Carb Fresh and Zesty Summer Salad!
