Preparation Directions
Prepare the Vegetables
Wash and chop the romaine lettuce, slice the cucumber, and halve the cherry tomatoes. Place them in a large salad bowl.
Make the Dressing
In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Grill the Chicken or Shrimp
Season the chicken breasts or shrimp with salt and pepper. Grill them until cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side for chicken, or 2-3 minutes per side for shrimp. Slice the chicken, if using.
Assemble the Salad
Add the grilled chicken or shrimp, croutons, and Parmesan cheese to the bowl with the vegetables. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Serve
Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
