Ingredients

• 2 heads Romaine lettuce
• 2 large Avocados
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 0.25 medium Red onion
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash the romaine lettuce thoroughly under cold water, pat dry with a clean kitchen towel, and chop into bite-sized pieces. Place in a large salad bowl.

Step 2

Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and peel the skin off. Slice the avocado into thin wedges or large chunks, depending on your preference, and add to the salad bowl.

Step 3

Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and add them to the salad along with the chopped romaine and avocado.

Step 4

Peel and thinly slice the red onion. Add the onion slices to the salad bowl for a bit of sharpness and crunch.

Step 5

In a small jar or mixing bowl, prepare the lemon vinaigrette. Combine the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Shake the jar well until the ingredients are emulsified, or whisk them together until smooth if using a bowl.

Step 6

Drizzle the lemon vinaigrette over the prepared salad ingredients. Use salad tongs or two large spoons to gently toss everything together, ensuring the dressing coats all the components evenly.

Step 7

Taste the salad and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if necessary.

Step 8

Serve immediately as a light meal or pair with your favorite protein for a heartier dish. Enjoy!
