Ingredients

• 8 cups Romaine lettuce
• 1 cup Radicchio
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 1 large Cucumber
• 0.5 medium Red onion
• 0.5 cup Pepperoncini peppers
• 0.5 cup Black olives
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons White wine vinegar
• 1.5 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the romaine lettuce and radicchio under cold water. Drain and pat dry with paper towels or use a salad spinner to remove excess water. Tear the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and slice the radicchio thinly.

Step 2

Slice the cherry tomatoes in half. Peel the cucumber if desired, then slice it into thin rounds. Thinly slice the red onion into rings.

Step 3

In a large salad bowl, combine the romaine lettuce, radicchio, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, pepperoncini peppers, and black olives.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, white wine vinegar, lemon juice, dried Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and ground black pepper until well combined. This will be your sugar-free dressing.

Step 5

Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to combine and evenly coat the ingredients.

Step 6

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the salad just before serving for added flavor and texture.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy your sugar-free Olive Garden salad!
