Ingredients
- 1 head Romaine lettuce
- 200 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 small Red onion
- 1 small Cucumber
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the vegetables. Wash the Romaine lettuce thoroughly under cold running water. Shake off excess water or use a salad spinner to dry it. Tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.
Step 2
Rinse the cherry tomatoes and pat them dry. Halve them and add to the bowl with the lettuce.
Step 3
Peel the outer skin of the red onion and cut it into thin slices. Add the onion slices to the salad bowl.
Step 4
Wash the cucumber and slice it into thin rounds. Place the cucumber slices into the salad bowl as well.
Step 5
For the vinaigrette, in a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and freshly ground black pepper until well combined.
Step 6
Pour the vinaigrette over the salad. Toss gently to ensure the lettuce and vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Step 7
Chop the fresh parsley finely and sprinkle it over the tossed salad for a finishing touch of flavor.
Step 8
Serve immediately as a crisp and refreshing side dish to complement your meal.
