Fresh Garden Salad
Description
This Fresh Garden Salad uses a variety of crisp vegetables — romaine lettuce, grape tomatoes, small Persian cucumbers, and grated carrot — combined for contrasting textures and fresh flavors. The finely sliced red onion and chopped parsley add sharpness and herbaceous notes. The dressing blends olive oil, tangy lemon juice, Dijon mustard for some bite, and honey for subtle sweetness, balanced with salt and pepper.
When the dressing is whisked and poured over the salad, tossing immediately ensures everything is evenly coated while maintaining the salad's freshness and crispness. Serving the salad promptly after tossing maintains the best texture.
