Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 head romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup red onion, sliced
- 1/2 cup cucumber, diced
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. Rinse the romaine lettuce under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Shake off excess water and chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces.
- Next, take the cherry tomatoes and slice them in half. This will help release their juices and enhance the flavor of the salad.
- Peel the cucumber, if desired, and then dice it into small cubes. This adds a refreshing crunch to the salad.
- Slice the red onion into thin rings or half-moons, depending on your preference. If you find raw onion too strong, you can soak the slices in cold water for a few minutes to mellow the flavor.
- In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and sliced red onion. Toss the ingredients gently to mix them evenly.
- Drizzle the ranch dressing over the salad. Start with half of the dressing and add more to taste. Toss the salad again to ensure that all the ingredients are coated with the dressing.
- Once the salad is well mixed, taste it and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You may want to add salt, pepper, or even a squeeze of lemon juice for extra flavor.
- Serve the Romaine Salad a la Ron immediately in individual bowls or on a large platter. Enjoy your fresh and vibrant salad!
Tips
- * To ensure the freshest flavors, use high-quality ingredients and chop them just before assembling the salad. * Don't be afraid to customize the recipe to your taste - add your favorite protein, nuts, or cheese to make it your own! * If you're not a fan of raw onion, try soaking the slices in cold water for a few minutes to mellow the flavor. * For an extra burst of flavor, add a squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkle of salt and pepper to taste. * Make ahead: prep the ingredients up to a day in advance, then assemble the salad just before serving.
