Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lettuce

    Wash the Romaine lettuce thoroughly under cold water, then dry it using a salad spinner or by patting it with paper towels. Chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl.

  2. 2

    Slice the Vegetables

    Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and add them to the bowl. Peel the cucumber and slice it into thin rounds, then add to the salad. Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the mixture. Lastly, peel the carrot and shred it or slice it into thin strips before adding it to the bowl.

Dressing Preparation

  1. 3

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined and emulsified.

Combine and Serve

  1. 4

    Combine Salad and Dressing

    Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad ingredients in the bowl. Toss gently with salad tongs or two forks until all ingredients are well coated with the dressing.

  2. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately as a refreshing side dish, or refrigerate for up to an hour to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
