Garden Salad

做法

1. 1

   Wash and dry the lettuce

   Rinse the romaine leaves under cold water, shake off excess, and pat dry with a clean towel or spin in a salad spinner. Dry greens keep the dressing from getting watery.

2. 2

   Chop and slice vegetables

   Chop the romaine into bite-size pieces and place in a large bowl. Halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the cucumber and red onion into thin rounds, and cut the bell pepper into thin strips.

3. 3

   Add remaining toppings

   Scatter the shredded carrots and black olives over the vegetables in the bowl.

4. 4

   Dress and toss

   Drizzle Italian dressing over the salad. Season with a pinch of salt and a few cracks of black pepper. Toss gently with tongs or two large spoons until everything is lightly coated.

5. 5

   Serve immediately

   Transfer to a serving bowl or divide onto plates. Serve right away so the greens stay crisp.
