Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Romaine

    Wash the romaine lettuce thoroughly under cold water. Remove any wilted leaves and chop it into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Slice the Red Onions

    Peel the red onion and slice it thinly. You can soak the slices in cold water for a few minutes to reduce the sharpness if desired.

  3. 3

    Chop the Tomatoes

    Wash the tomatoes and chop them into small cubes. Remove the seeds if you prefer a less watery salad.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Combine Salad Ingredients

    In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, sliced red onions, and chopped tomatoes. Toss gently to mix.

  2. 5

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle the croutons and grated parmesan cheese over the salad. Toss lightly to distribute.

  3. 6

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle your choice of dressing over the salad. Start with a small amount and add more to taste, then toss again to coat evenly.
