Ingredients

• 1 medium English cucumber
• 1 head Romaine lettuce
• 1 small Red onion
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon Fresh mint leaves
• 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by washing all the vegetables under cold running water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 2

Slice the English cucumber thinly. For slightly thicker slices, use a mandoline slicer for uniformity and speed.

Step 3

Tear the Romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.

Step 4

Peel the red onion and slice it thinly into rings. Separate the rings and add them to the salad bowl.

Step 5

Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl.

Step 6

Chop the fresh mint leaves finely and sprinkle them over the salad.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until the dressing is emulsified and smooth.

Step 8

Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients. Toss gently using salad tongs to coat all the vegetables evenly with the dressing.

Step 9

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve immediately for the freshest flavor.
