Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Greens

    Rinse the romaine lettuce and spinach under cold water. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess water.

  2. 2

    Chop Vegetables

    Chop the romaine lettuce and spinach into bite-sized pieces and place in a large salad bowl.

  3. 3

    Add Cherry Tomatoes

    Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the salad bowl.

  4. 4

    Slice Red Onion

    Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the salad bowl.

  5. 5

    Prepare Green Beans

    Blanch the green beans in boiling water for 3-4 minutes, then quickly transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain and add to the salad bowl.

  6. 6

    Add Croutons

    Top the salad with croutons for added crunch and texture.

Dressing Preparation

  1. 7

    Mix Dressing Ingredients

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

  2. 8

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving, and toss gently to combine everything evenly.
