House Salad, No Dressing Recipe

Salad Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Romaine Lettuce

   Wash the romaine lettuce thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris. Shake off excess water or use a salad spinner to dry. Tear the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.

2. 2

   Add Cherry Tomatoes

   Rinse the cherry tomatoes under cold water. Cut each tomato in half and add them to the bowl with the lettuce.

3. 3

   Prepare the Cucumber

   Peel the cucumber if desired (leaving the skin on adds crunch and nutrients). Slice the cucumber into thin rounds or half-moons and add to the salad bowl.

4. 4

   Slice the Red Onion

   Peel the red onion and slice it thinly. If you prefer a milder flavor, you can soak the slices in cold water for a few minutes. Add the sliced onion to the bowl.

5. 5

   Grate the Carrot

   Wash and peel the carrot. Grate it using a box grater or a food processor. Add the grated carrot to the salad.

6. 6

   Chop the Bell Pepper

   Remove the seeds and stem from the bell pepper. Chop it into small pieces or strips and add to the salad.

7. 7

   Slice the Radishes

   Wash the radishes thoroughly. Slice them thinly and add to the salad for a crunchy texture.

8. 8

   Chop the Fresh Parsley

   Rinse the fresh parsley under cold water, shake off excess moisture, and chop it finely. Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the salad.

9. 9

   Toss the Salad

   Gently toss all the ingredients together in the mixing bowl until evenly mixed. Serve immediately or chill for a short time before serving.
