Method

Preparing the Salad Base

  1. 1

    Wash the romaine and iceberg lettuce thoroughly under cold running water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Chop both types of lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.

Adding Toppings

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Peel and grate the carrots, slice the red onion thinly, and chop the fresh tomatoes into small chunks. Add all the prepared vegetables into the bowl with the chopped lettuce.

  2. 3

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle the mozzarella blend cheese evenly over the top of the salad.

Making the Dressing (optional)

  1. 4

    Combine Dressing Ingredients

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

  2. 5

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving. Toss gently to combine, ensuring the dressing coats the salad evenly.
