Directions

Step 1

Wash the romaine lettuce thoroughly under cold water. Break it into bite-sized pieces and dry it with a salad spinner or clean kitchen towel.

In a large salad bowl, combine the romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and radishes.

To make the vinaigrette, finely mince the garlic and add it to a small mixing bowl.

Step 6

Add the extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the garlic.

Step 7

Whisk the vinaigrette ingredients together until they are well combined and emulsified.

Step 8

Drizzle the homemade vinaigrette over the salad just before serving. Toss the salad gently to coat the vegetables evenly.
