In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 5

Drizzle the garlic dressing over the lettuce and toss gently to ensure the leaves are evenly coated.

Step 6

If desired, sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the top for added flavor.

Step 7

Serve immediately as a crisp, zesty side or enjoy as a light, healthy meal.
