    Prepare the Salad Base

    Rinse the butter lettuce thoroughly under cold water. Gently pat dry with a clean kitchen towel. Tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.

    Chop the Vegetables

    Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the salad bowl. Peel the cucumber, slice it into thin rounds, and add it to the bowl as well. Trim the radishes, slice them thinly, and include them in the salad.

Dressing Preparation

    Make the Dressing

    In a small mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until smooth and emulsified.
