Method
Preparation
Prepare the Vegetables
Wash and dry the romaine lettuce thoroughly. Chop it into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl.
Chop the Onion and Fennel
Slice the red onion thinly and add it to the bowl. Cut the fennel bulb in half, remove the core, and slice it thinly. Add to the salad bowl.
Add Fruits and Veggies
Peel and segment the orange, discarding the seeds and any white pith. Cut the segments into smaller pieces and add to the bowl. Halve the cherry tomatoes and cucumber, then add them to the bowl.

Add Pepperoncini
Add the pepperoncini to the bowl, either whole or sliced based on your preference.

Serving
