Salad Ingredients

Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Start by washing all fresh produce. Rinse the romaine lettuce under cold water, then shake off excess moisture. Tear the lettuce leaves into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.

  2. 2

    Chop the Tomatoes

    Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the salad bowl with the romaine lettuce.

  3. 3

    Slice the Cucumber

    Peel the cucumber if desired. Slice it into thin rounds or half-moons and add to the bowl.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Onion

    Peel and thinly slice the red onion. Add the slices to the salad bowl.

  5. 5

    Grate the Carrot

    Peel the carrot and grate it using a box grater or food processor. Sprinkle the grated carrot over the salad.

  6. 6

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl or jar, combine the olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Whisk or shake until well blended.

  7. 7

    Dress the Salad

    Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients in the bowl. Toss gently to combine, ensuring all vegetables are coated with the dressing.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Serve the house salad immediately as a fresh side dish or as a light meal.
