Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Romaine Lettuce

    Wash the romaine lettuce under cold water. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl.

  2. 2

    Slice the Vegetables

    Peel the cucumber if desired, then cut it in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds with a spoon and slice it into thin half-moons. Dice the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces. Thinly slice the red onion.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In the large salad bowl with the romaine lettuce, add the sliced cucumber, diced tomatoes, and sliced red onion. Gently toss to combine.

  2. 4

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle croutons and shredded cheese over the salad mixture. Toss gently to distribute the toppings evenly.

Dressing (optional)

  1. 5

    Prepare the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 6

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving, and toss gently to coat all ingredients lightly.
