Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Romaine Lettuce

    Wash the romaine lettuce thoroughly under cold water. Remove any wilted or damaged outer leaves. Cut the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Dice the tomatoes and cucumbers into small pieces. Peel and shred the carrots. Thinly slice the red onion. Add all the chopped vegetables to the bowl with the lettuce.

  3. 3

    Add the Olives

    Add the olives to the salad bowl. If using whole olives, slice them into halves or quarters for better distribution.

Dressing Preparation

  1. 4

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl or a jar with a lid, add the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Whisk or shake well until all ingredients are combined and emulsified.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Combine Salad and Dressing

    Pour the dressing over the salad just before serving. Toss gently to coat all the vegetables evenly with the dressing.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Serve the salad immediately as a fresh side dish or light meal.
