- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Wash the romaine lettuce thoroughly under cold running water. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess moisture.

Peel the cucumber and slice it thinly. Add the cucumber slices to the bowl with the lettuce.
Step 4
Rinse the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half. Add to the salad bowl.
Step 5
Peel the red onion quarter and slice it thinly into rings. Add the onion slices to the bowl.
Step 6
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 7
Pour the vinaigrette over the salad ingredients in the large bowl. Toss gently until all the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Step 8
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
