Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Rinse the romaine lettuce, dry thoroughly, and tear into bite-sized pieces. Place in a large salad bowl.

  2. 2

    Wash and slice the cucumber; halve the cherry tomatoes; thinly slice the red onion. Pat dry if needed and set aside.

Dressing

  1. 3

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic.

  2. 4

    Season with salt and pepper. Whisk until the dressing is emulsified. Taste and adjust salt or acidity if desired.

Assemble

  1. 5

    To the large bowl of lettuce, add cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Toss to combine.

  2. 6

    Sprinkle croutons and feta cheese over the salad.

  3. 7

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

  4. 8

    If using olives, add them now and give a final toss.
