Directions

Step 1

Start by washing and drying the vegetables. Make sure the kale and iceberg lettuce are thoroughly dried to keep the salad crisp.

Peel the cucumber, cut it in half lengthwise, and then slice thinly. Add to the salad mixture.

Step 6

Cut the red onion into thin slices and separate the slices into rings. Stir them into the salad.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

Step 8

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring all the ingredients are coated evenly.

Step 9

If using, grate Parmesan cheese over the salad and toss again lightly.
