Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Romaine Lettuce

    Wash the romaine lettuce thoroughly under cold water. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess water. Chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl.

  2. 2

    Slice the Red Onion

    Peel the red onion and slice it thinly. If the flavor is too strong, soak the slices in cold water for 10 minutes, then drain before adding to the salad.

  3. 3

    Chop the Tomatoes

    Wash the tomatoes and chop them into bite-sized pieces. Add them to the salad bowl with the romaine.

  4. 4

    Add Blue Cheese

    Sprinkle the crumbled blue cheese over the salad. Adjust the amount according to your taste.

Dressing Preparation (optional)

  1. 5

    Mix the Dressing Ingredients

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

  2. 6

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving. Toss gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
