1
Wash and Prepare Vegetables
Thoroughly wash the Little Leaf lettuce, cucumber, celery, red pepper, and tomato under cold running water. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner to dry the lettuce.
2
Chop Vegetables
Chop the cucumber, celery, and red pepper into bite-sized pieces. Dice the tomato. Place all the chopped vegetables into a large mixing bowl.
3
Add Lettuce and Onion
Tear the Little Leaf lettuce into smaller pieces and add it to the bowl with the chopped vegetables. Add the shaved red onion on top.

4
Add Dressing
Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette over the salad mixture in the bowl. Start with half a cup and adjust according to your taste preference.
5
Toss Salad
Using salad tongs or two large forks, gently toss the salad until all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.

6
Plate and Serve
Divide the salad among individual serving plates or bowls. Serve immediately for the best flavor and freshness.
